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. For the Sons of Korah, on Alamoth. A Song. God—for us, is a refuge and strength, A help in distresses, soon found.

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

For this cause, will we not fear, Though the earth showeth change, Or the mountains slip into the heart of the seas:

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

The waters thereof roar and foam, The mountains tremble 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.

A river! whose channels, shall gladden the city of God, The Most High, hath hallowed his habitation.

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 shaken, God will help her, by the turnings of the morning.

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

Nations have roared, Kingdoms have tottered, He hath uttered his voice, Earth melteth.

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

Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. (Selah)

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

Come! view the doings of Yahweh, —Who hath set desolations 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.

Causing wars to cease unto the end of the earth, —The bow, he shivereth, And breaketh in pieces the spear, war-chariots, burneth he up with fire.

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

Let be! 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)

Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
