Psalms 46

1 For the Chief Musician: [a Psalm] of the sons of Korah; set to Alamoth. A Song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

For the end, for the sons of Core; a Psalm concerning secret things. God is our refuge and strength, a help in the afflictions that have come heavily upon us.

2 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, and though the mountains be moved in the heart of the seas;

Therefore will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed into the depths of the seas.

3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Selah)

Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by his might. (Pause)

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

The flowings of the river gladden the city of God: the Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.

5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her with his countenance.

6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

The nations were troubled, the kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, the earth shook.

7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper. (Pause)

8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.

Come, and behold the works of the Lord, what wonders he has achieved on the earth.

9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariots in the fire.

Putting an end to wars as for the ends of the earth; he will crush the bow, and break in pieces the weapon, and burn the bucklers 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.

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

11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper.
