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 chief musician. A psalm of the sons of Korah; set to Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and 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.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains should be shaken 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)

though its waters roar and rage, and though the mountains tremble with their swelling. (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 the city of God happy, 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 in the middle of her; she will not be moved; God will help her, and he will do so at the dawn of morning.

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

The nations raged and the kingdoms were shaken; he lifted up his voice, and the earth melted.

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

Yahweh of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

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

Come, behold the deeds of Yahweh, the destruction he has caused on 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 cease to the ends of the earth; he breaks the bow and cuts the spear into pieces; he burns up the shields.

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 quiet 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)

Yahweh of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
