< 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 him that excelleth upon Alamoth a song committed to the sonnes of Korah. God is our hope and strength, and helpe in troubles, ready to be 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 not we feare, though the earth be moued, and though the mountaines fall into the middes of the sea.
3 The waters thereof roar and foam, The mountains tremble with the swelling thereof (Selah)
Though the waters thereof rage and be troubled, and the mountaines shake at the surges of the same. (Selah)
4 A river! whose channels, shall gladden the city of God, The Most High, hath hallowed his habitation.
Yet there is a Riuer, whose streames shall make glad the citie of God: euen the Sanctuarie of the Tabernacles 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 middes of it: therefore shall it not be moued: God shall helpe it very earely.
6 Nations have roared, Kingdoms have tottered, He hath uttered his voice, Earth melteth.
When the nations raged, and the kingdomes were moued, God thundred, and the earth melted.
7 Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
The Lord of hostes is with vs: the God of Iaakob is our refuge. (Selah)
8 Come! view the doings of Yahweh, —Who hath set desolations in the earth;
Come, and behold the workes of the Lord, 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 maketh warres to cease vnto the endes of the world: he breaketh the bowe and cutteth the speare, and burneth the chariots 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 knowe that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, and I wil 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 hostes is with vs: the God of Iaakob is our refuge. (Selah)
