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.

Unto the end. To the sons of Korah, for confidants. A Psalm. Our God is our refuge and strength, a helper in the tribulations that have greatly overwhelmed us.

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

Because of this, we will not be afraid when the earth will be turbulent and the mountains will be transferred into the heart of the sea.

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

They thundered, and the waters were stirred up among them; the mountains have been disturbed by his strength.

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 frenzy of the river rejoices 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 its midst; it will not be shaken. God will assist it in the early morning.

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

The peoples have been disturbed, and the kingdoms have been bowed down. He uttered his voice: the earth has been moved.

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 supporter.

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

Draw near and behold the works of the Lord: what portents he has set upon 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.

carrying away wars even to the end of the earth. He will crush the bow and break the weapons, and he will burn the shield 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 empty, and see that I am God. I will be exalted among the peoples, and I will be exalted upon 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 supporter.
