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.

To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. On Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.

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 though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the heart of the seas;

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

Though the waters thereof roar [and] foam, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Selah)

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

There is a river the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the sanctuary of the habitations of the Most High.

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 at the dawn of the morning.

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

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

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

Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. (Selah)

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

Come, behold the works of Jehovah, what desolations he hath made in 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 hath made 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.

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 in the earth.

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

Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. (Selah)
