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 musician: by the sons of Korach, upon 'Alamoth, a song.” God is our protection and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.

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, even when the earth is transformed, and when mountains are moved into the heart of the seas;

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

[When] the waters thereof roar and foam, when mountains quake before his majesty. (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, its rivulets cause to rejoice the city of God, the sanctuary of the dwellings 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 is in her midst; she shall not be moved: God will ever help her, at the dawning of [her] morning.

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

Nations rage, kingdoms are moved: he letteth his voice be heard, the earth melteth away.

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

The Lord of hosts is with us; a defense unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)

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

Come, look at the deeds of the Lord, who hath made desolations 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.

He causeth wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in pieces; he burneth wagons 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.

Leave off, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted on 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; a defence unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
