Psalms 46

1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

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.

2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the middle of the sea;

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

3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Selah)

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

4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

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

5 God is in the middle of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

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

6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

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

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

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

8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he has made in the earth.

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

9 He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow, and cuts the spear in sunder; he burns the chariot in the fire.

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.

10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

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

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

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