Psalms 46

1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

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

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

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

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

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

7 Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] is with us. The God of Jacob [Supplanter] is our refuge. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

8 Come, see Adonai’s works, what desolations he has made in the earth.

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

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

11 Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] is with us. The God of Jacob [Supplanter] is our refuge. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
