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. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. 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 won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are 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 are troubled, 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, the streams of which make the city of God glad, 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 is within her. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.

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

The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice and the earth melted.

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 refuge. (Selah)

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

Come, see the LORD’s works, what desolations 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 makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots 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 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 Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
