< Psalms 46 >

1 Elohim is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
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 we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken 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 its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
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.
There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of haElyon [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 within her. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice, and the earth melted.
7 YHWH of hosts is with us; the Elohim of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] is with us. The God of Jacob [Supplanter] is our refuge. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
8 Come, behold the works of YHWH, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
Come, see Adonai’s works, what desolations he has 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.
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots 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 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)
Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] is with us. The God of Jacob [Supplanter] is our refuge. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
