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.

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

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

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

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

God is in its midst; it will not be shaken. God will assist it in the early morning.

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

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

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 supporter.

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

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

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 Let be! 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 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 supporter.
