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: by the sons of Korach, upon 'Alamoth, a song.” God is our protection 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, even when the earth is transformed, and when mountains are moved into the heart of the seas;

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

[When] the waters thereof roar and foam, when mountains quake before his majesty. (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, its rivulets cause to rejoice the city of God, the sanctuary of the dwellings 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 her midst; she shall not be moved: God will ever help her, at the dawning of [her] morning.

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

Nations rage, kingdoms are moved: he letteth his voice be heard, the earth melteth away.

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

The Lord of hosts is with us; a defense unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)

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

Come, look at the deeds of the Lord, who hath made desolations on 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 causeth wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in pieces; he burneth wagons in the fire.

10 Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.

Leave off, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted on the earth.

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

The Lord of hosts is with us; a defence unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
