Psalms 46

1 For the end, for the sons of Core; a Psalm concerning secret things. God is our refuge and strength, a help in the afflictions that have come heavily upon us.

To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. On Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.

2 Therefore will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed into the depths of the seas.

Therefore will we not fear though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the heart of the seas;

3 Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by his might. (Pause)

Though the waters thereof roar [and] foam, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Selah)

4 The flowings of the river gladden the city of God: the Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.

There is a river the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the sanctuary of the habitations of the Most High.

5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her with his countenance.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her at the dawn of the morning.

6 The nations were troubled, the kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, the earth shook.

The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper. (Pause)

Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. (Selah)

8 Come, and behold the works of the Lord, what wonders he has achieved on the earth.

Come, behold the works of Jehovah, what desolations he hath made in the earth:

9 Putting an end to wars as for the ends of the earth; he will crush the bow, and break in pieces the weapon, and burn the bucklers with fire.

He hath made wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariots in the fire.

10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, 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 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper.

Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. (Selah)
