< Psalms 46 >
1 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth. God [is] our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
To the Chief Musician. For the Sons of Korah, on Alamoth. A Song. God—for us, is a refuge and strength, A help in distresses, soon found.
2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
For this cause, will we not fear, Though the earth showeth change, Or the mountains slip into the heart of the seas:
3 [Though] the waters thereof roar [and] be troubled, [though] the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Selah)
The waters thereof roar and foam, The mountains tremble with 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.
A river! whose channels, shall gladden the city of God, The Most High, hath hallowed his habitation.
5 God [is] in the midst 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 shaken, God will help her, by the turnings of the morning.
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
Nations have roared, Kingdoms have tottered, He hath uttered his voice, Earth melteth.
7 The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is] our refuge. (Selah)
Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
Come! view the doings of Yahweh, —Who hath set desolations 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.
Causing wars to cease unto the end of the earth, —The bow, he shivereth, And breaketh in pieces the spear, war-chariots, burneth he up with 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)
Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
