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.

“For the leader of the music. Of, or for, the sons of Korah. To be sung in the manner, or with the voice, of virgins.” God is our refuge and strength; An ever 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;

Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be changed; Though the mountains tremble 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 roar and be troubled, And the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Pause)

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

A river with its streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy dwelling-place 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 the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her, and that full early.

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

The nations raged; kingdoms were moved; He uttered his voice, the earth melted.

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

The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Pause)

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

Come, behold the doings 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 causeth wars to cease to the end of the earth; He hath broken the bow, and snapped the spear asunder, And burned the chariots in fire.

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

“Desist, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted throughout the earth!”

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

The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.
