< Psalms 46 >
1 Elohim 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 midst 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 Elohim, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

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 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.

8 Come, behold the works of YHWH, 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 chariot in the fire.

'Let be, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'
11 YHWH of hosts is with us; the Elohim of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
