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.

To the chief music-maker. Of the sons of Korah; put to Alamoth. A Song. God is our harbour and our strength, a very present help in trouble.

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

For this cause we will have no fear, even though the earth is changed, and though the mountains are moved in the heart of the sea;

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

Though its waters are sounding and troubled, and though the mountains are shaking with their violent motion. (Selah)

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 make glad the resting-place of God, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

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

God has taken his place in her; she will not be moved: he will come to her help at the dawn of morning.

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

The nations were angry, the kingdoms were moved; at the sound of his voice the earth became like wax.

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

The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)

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

Come, see the works of the Lord, the destruction which he has made in 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 puts an end to wars over all the earth; by him the bow is broken, and the spear cut in two, and the carriage burned 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 at peace in the knowledge that I am God: I will be lifted up among the nations, I will be honoured through all the earth.

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

The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
