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.

Unto the end, for the sons of Core, for the hidden. Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.

2 Therefore we do not fear in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.

Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.

3 Roar—troubled are its waters, Mountains shake in its pride. (Selah)

Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength.

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

The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.

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

God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early.

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

Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.

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

The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.

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

Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon 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.

Making wars to cease even to the end of the earth. He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: and the shield he shall burn 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 see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.

11 YHWH of hosts [is] with us, The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us! (Selah)

The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
