Psalms 46

1 To the Chief Musician. For the Sons of Korah, on Alamoth. A Song. God—for us, is a refuge and strength, A help in distresses, soon found.

For the choirmaster. Of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble.

2 For this cause, will we not fear, Though the earth showeth change, Or the mountains slip into the heart of the seas:

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth is transformed and the mountains are toppled into the depths of the seas,

3 The waters thereof roar and foam, The mountains tremble with the swelling thereof (Selah)

though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge.

4 A river! whose channels, shall gladden the city of God, The Most High, hath hallowed his habitation.

There is a river whose streams delight the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.

5 God, is in the midst of her, she shall not be shaken, God will help her, by the turnings of the morning.

God is within her; she will not be moved. God will help her when morning dawns.

6 Nations have roared, Kingdoms have tottered, He hath uttered his voice, Earth melteth.

Nations rage, kingdoms crumble; the earth melts when He lifts His voice.

7 Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. (Selah)

The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

8 Come! view the doings of Yahweh, —Who hath set desolations in the earth;

Come, see the works of the LORD, who brings devastation upon the earth.

9 Causing wars to cease unto the end of the earth, —The bow, he shivereth, And breaketh in pieces the spear, war-chariots, burneth he up with fire.

He makes wars to cease throughout the earth; He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the shields in the fire.

10 Let be! 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 over the earth.”

11 Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. (Selah)

The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
