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. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. 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 we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

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

though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. (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 of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents 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 within her. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.

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

The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice 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 Armies 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, see the LORD’s works, what desolations he has 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 makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns 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 amongst 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 Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
