Psalms 46

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

“To the chief musician: by the sons of Korach, upon 'Alamoth, a song.” God is our protection and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.

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, even when the earth is transformed, and when mountains are 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)

[When] the waters thereof roar and foam, when mountains quake before his majesty. (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, its rivulets cause to rejoice the city of God, the sanctuary of the dwellings of the Most High.

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

God is in her midst; she shall not be moved: God will ever help her, at the dawning of [her] morning.

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

Nations rage, kingdoms are moved: he letteth his voice be heard, the earth melteth away.

7 Yhwh of Armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

The Lord of hosts is with us; a defense unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)

8 Come, behold the works of Yhwh, what desolations he hath made in the earth.

Come, look at the deeds of the Lord, who hath made desolations on 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 causeth wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in pieces; he burneth wagons 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.

Leave off, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted on the earth.

11 Yhwh of Armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

The Lord of hosts is with us; a defence unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
