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 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 For this cause, will we not fear, Though the earth showeth change, Or the mountains slip into 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 The waters thereof roar and foam, The mountains tremble with the swelling thereof (Selah)

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

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

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 shaken, God will help her, by the turnings of the morning.

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

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

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

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 helper. (Pause)

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

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

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 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 amongst the nations, I will be exalted in 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 helper.
