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 end, for the sons of Core; a Psalm concerning secret things. God is our refuge and strength, a help in the afflictions that have come heavily upon us.

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

Therefore will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed 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)

Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by his might. (Pause)

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.

The flowings of the river gladden the city of God: the Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.

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

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her with his countenance.

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

The nations were troubled, the kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, the earth shook.

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 helper. (Pause)

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

Come, and behold the works of the Lord, what wonders he has achieved on 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.

Putting an end to wars as for the ends of the earth; he will crush the bow, and break in pieces the weapon, and burn the bucklers with 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 amongst the nations, I will be exalted in 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 helper.
