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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10 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.
