< 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 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.
2 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, and though the mountains be moved into the heart of the seas;
Therefore will not we feare, though the earth be moued, and though the mountaines fall into the middes of the sea.
3 Though the waters thereof roar and foam, though the mountains shake at the swelling thereof. (Selah)
Though the waters thereof rage and be troubled, and the mountaines shake at the surges of the same. (Selah)
4 There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the holiest dwelling-place of the Most High.
Yet there is a Riuer, whose streames shall make glad the citie of God: euen the Sanctuarie of the Tabernacles 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 is in the middes of it: therefore shall it not be moued: God shall helpe it very earely.
6 Nations were in tumult, kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
When the nations raged, and the kingdomes were moued, God thundred, and the earth melted.
7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
The Lord of hostes is with vs: the God of Iaakob is our refuge. (Selah)
8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, who hath made desolations in the earth.
Come, and behold the workes of the Lord, what desolations he hath 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 maketh warres to cease vnto the endes of the world: he breaketh the bowe and cutteth the speare, and burneth the chariots with 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 still and knowe that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, and I wil be exalted in the earth.
11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
The Lord of hostes is with vs: the God of Iaakob is our refuge. (Selah)
