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 OVERSEER. BY SONS OF KORAH. FOR GIRLS’ [VOICES]. A SONG. God [is] our refuge and strength, A most sure help in adversities.

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 do not fear in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.

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

Roar—troubled are its waters, Mountains shake in its pride. (Selah)

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

A river—its streams make glad the city of God, Your holy place of the dwelling places 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 her midst—she is not moved, God helps her at the turn of the morning!

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

Nations have been troubled, Kingdoms have been moved, He has given forth with His voice—earth melts.

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

YHWH of Hosts [is] with us, The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us. (Selah)

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

Come, see the works of YHWH, Who has done astonishing things 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.

Causing wars to cease, To the end of the earth, He shatters the bow, And He has cut apart the spear, He burns 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.

Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.

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

YHWH of hosts [is] with us, The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us! (Selah)
