Psalms 46

1 To him that excelleth upon Alamoth a song committed to the sonnes of Korah. God is our hope and strength, and helpe in troubles, ready to be found.

For the choirmaster. Of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble.

2 Therefore will not we feare, though the earth be moued, and though the mountaines fall into the middes of the sea.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth is transformed and the mountains are toppled into the depths of the seas,

3 Though the waters thereof rage and be troubled, and the mountaines shake at the surges of the same. (Selah)

though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge.

4 Yet there is a Riuer, whose streames shall make glad the citie of God: euen the Sanctuarie of the Tabernacles of the most High.

There is a river whose streams delight the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.

5 God is in the middes of it: therefore shall it not be moued: God shall helpe it very earely.

God is within her; she will not be moved. God will help her when morning dawns.

6 When the nations raged, and the kingdomes were moued, God thundred, and the earth melted.

Nations rage, kingdoms crumble; the earth melts when He lifts His voice.

7 The Lord of hostes is with vs: the God of Iaakob is our refuge. (Selah)

The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

8 Come, and behold the workes of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.

Come, see the works of the LORD, who brings devastation upon the earth.

9 He maketh warres to cease vnto the endes of the world: he breaketh the bowe and cutteth the speare, and burneth the chariots with fire.

He makes wars to cease throughout the earth; He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the shields in the fire.

10 Be still and knowe that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, and I wil be exalted in the earth.

“Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted over the earth.”

11 The Lord of hostes is with vs: the God of Iaakob is our refuge. (Selah)

The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
