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.

Unto the end. To the sons of Korah, for confidants. A Psalm. Our God is our refuge and strength, a helper in the tribulations that have greatly overwhelmed us.

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

Because of this, we will not be afraid when the earth will be turbulent and the mountains will be transferred into 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)

They thundered, and the waters were stirred up among them; the mountains have been disturbed by his strength.

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 frenzy of the river rejoices 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 its midst; it will not be shaken. God will assist it in the early morning.

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

The peoples have been disturbed, and the kingdoms have been bowed down. He uttered his voice: the earth has been moved.

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 supporter.

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

Draw near and behold the works of the Lord: what portents he has set 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.

carrying away wars even to the end of the earth. He will crush the bow and break the weapons, and he will burn the shield 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 empty, and see that I am God. I will be exalted among the peoples, and I will be exalted upon 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 supporter.
