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.

לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ לִבְנֵי־קֹ֑רַח עַֽל־עֲלָמֹ֥ות שִֽׁיר׃ אֱלֹהִ֣ים לָ֭נוּ מַחֲסֶ֣ה וָעֹ֑ז עֶזְרָ֥ה בְ֝צָרֹ֗ות נִמְצָ֥א מְאֹֽד׃

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

עַל־כֵּ֣ן לֹא־נִ֭ירָא בְּהָמִ֣יר אָ֑רֶץ וּבְמֹ֥וט הָ֝רִ֗ים בְּלֵ֣ב יַמִּֽים׃

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

יֶהֱמ֣וּ יֶחְמְר֣וּ מֵימָ֑יו יִֽרְעֲשֽׁוּ־הָרִ֖ים בְּגַאֲוָתֹ֣ו סֶֽלָה׃

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

נָהָ֗ר פְּלָגָ֗יו יְשַׂמְּח֥וּ עִיר־אֱלֹהִ֑ים קְ֝דֹ֗שׁ מִשְׁכְּנֵ֥י עֶלְיֹֽון׃

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

אֱלֹהִ֣ים בְּ֭קִרְבָּהּ בַּל־תִּמֹּ֑וט יַעְזְרֶ֥הָ אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים לִפְנֹ֥ות בֹּֽקֶר׃

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

הָמ֣וּ גֹ֖ויִם מָ֣טוּ מַמְלָכֹ֑ות נָתַ֥ן בְּ֝קֹולֹ֗ו תָּמ֥וּג אָֽרֶץ׃

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

יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹ֣ות עִמָּ֑נוּ מִשְׂגָּֽב־לָ֝נוּ אֱלֹהֵ֖י יַעֲקֹ֣ב סֶֽלָה׃

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

לְֽכוּ־חֲ֭זוּ מִפְעֲלֹ֣ות יְהוָ֑ה אֲשֶׁר־שָׂ֖ם שַׁמֹּ֣ות בָּאָֽרֶץ׃

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.

מַשְׁבִּ֥ית מִלְחָמֹות֮ עַד־קְצֵ֪ה הָ֫אָ֥רֶץ קֶ֣שֶׁת יְ֭שַׁבֵּר וְקִצֵּ֣ץ חֲנִ֑ית עֲ֝גָלֹ֗ות יִשְׂרֹ֥ף בָּאֵֽשׁ׃

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

הַרְפּ֣וּ וּ֭דְעוּ כִּי־אָנֹכִ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים אָר֥וּם בַּ֝גֹּויִ֗ם אָר֥וּם בָּאָֽרֶץ׃

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

יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹ֣ות עִמָּ֑נוּ מִשְׂגָּֽב־לָ֝נוּ אֱלֹהֵ֖י יַעֲקֹ֣ב סֶֽלָה׃
