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 Chief Musician: [a Psalm] of the sons of Korah; set to Alamoth. A Song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

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 do change, and though the mountains be moved in 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 be troubled, 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 holy place 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 midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

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)

The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

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

Come, behold the works 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 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)

The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
