Psalms 46

1 For the Leader; a Psalm of the sons of Korah; upon Alamoth. A Song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

To the chief music-maker. Of the sons of Korah; put to Alamoth. A Song. God is our harbour and our strength, a very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, and though the mountains be moved into the heart of the seas;

For this cause we will have no fear, even though the earth is changed, and though the mountains are moved in the heart of the sea;

3 Though the waters thereof roar and foam, though the mountains shake at the swelling thereof. (Selah)

Though its waters are sounding and troubled, and though the mountains are shaking with their violent motion. (Selah)

4 There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the holiest dwelling-place of the Most High.

There is a river whose streams make glad the resting-place of God, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

5 God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, at the approach of morning.

God has taken his place in her; she will not be moved: he will come to her help at the dawn of morning.

6 Nations were in tumult, kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.

The nations were angry, the kingdoms were moved; at the sound of his voice the earth became like wax.

7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)

The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)

8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, who hath made desolations in the earth.

Come, see the works of the Lord, the destruction which he has made in the earth.

9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariots in the fire.

He puts an end to wars over all the earth; by him the bow is broken, and the spear cut in two, and the carriage burned in the fire.

10 'Let be, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'

Be at peace in the knowledge that I am God: I will be lifted up among the nations, I will be honoured through all the earth.

11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)

The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
