Psalms 46

1 TO THE OVERSEER. BY SONS OF KORAH. FOR GIRLS’ [VOICES]. A SONG. God [is] our refuge and strength, A most sure help in adversities.

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 we do not fear in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart 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 Roar—troubled are its waters, Mountains shake in its pride. (Selah)

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

4 A river—its streams make glad the city of God, Your holy place of the dwelling places of the Most High.

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 her midst—she is not moved, God helps her at the turn of the morning!

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

6 Nations have been troubled, Kingdoms have been moved, He has given forth with His voice—earth melts.

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

7 YHWH of Hosts [is] with us, The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us. (Selah)

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

8 Come, see the works of YHWH, Who has done astonishing things in the earth,

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

9 Causing wars to cease, To the end of the earth, He shatters the bow, And He has cut apart the spear, He burns chariots 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 Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am 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 God of Jacob [is] a tower for us! (Selah)

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