< Psalms 46 >
1 Elohim is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Unto the end, for the sons of Core, for the hidden. Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.
2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.
3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Selah)
Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength.
4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of Elohim, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.
5 Elohim is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: Elohim shall help her, and that right early.
God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early.
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.
7 YHWH of hosts is with us; the Elohim of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
8 Come, behold the works of YHWH, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon 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 chariot in the fire.
Making wars to cease even to the end of the earth. He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: and the shield he shall burn in the fire.
10 Be still, and know that I am Elohim: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
Be still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.
11 YHWH of hosts is with us; the Elohim of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
