< 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 him that excelleth upon Alamoth a song committed to the sonnes of Korah. God is our hope and strength, and helpe in troubles, ready to be 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 not we feare, though the earth be moued, and though the mountaines fall into the middes of the sea.
3 Roar—troubled are its waters, Mountains shake in its pride. (Selah)
Though the waters thereof rage and be troubled, and the mountaines shake at the surges of the same. (Selah)
4 A river—its streams make glad the city of God, Your holy place of the dwelling places of the Most High.
Yet there is a Riuer, whose streames shall make glad the citie of God: euen the Sanctuarie of the Tabernacles 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 middes of it: therefore shall it not be moued: God shall helpe it very earely.
6 Nations have been troubled, Kingdoms have been moved, He has given forth with His voice—earth melts.
When the nations raged, and the kingdomes were moued, God thundred, and the earth melted.
7 YHWH of Hosts [is] with us, The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us. (Selah)
The Lord of hostes is with vs: the God of Iaakob is our refuge. (Selah)
8 Come, see the works of YHWH, Who has done astonishing things in the earth,
Come, and behold the workes of the Lord, 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 maketh warres to cease vnto the endes of the world: he breaketh the bowe and cutteth the speare, and burneth the chariots with fire.
10 Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.
Be still and knowe that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, and I wil 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 hostes is with vs: the God of Iaakob is our refuge. (Selah)
