Psalms 46

1 [For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.] God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

TO THE OVERSEER. BY SONS OF KORAH. FOR GIRLS’ [VOICES]. A SONG. God [is] our refuge and strength, A most sure help in adversities.

2 Therefore we won't be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

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

3 though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. (Selah)

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

4 There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

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

5 God is in her midst. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.

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

6 The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice, and the earth melted.

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

7 Jehovah of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

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

8 Come, see Jehovah's works, what desolations he has made in the earth.

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

9 He makes wars cease throughout the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots in the fire.

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.

10 "Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth."

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

11 Jehovah of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

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