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 the Virgins.' — A song. God [is] to us a refuge and strength, A help in adversities found most surely.

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 fear not 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 they 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 rivulets rejoice the city of God, Thy 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 her midst — she is not moved, God doth help her at the turn of the morn!

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

Troubled have been nations, Moved have been kingdoms, He hath given forth with His voice, earth melteth.

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

Jehovah of Hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob. (Selah)

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

Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath 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, Unto the end of the earth, the bow he shivereth, And the spear He hath cut asunder, Chariots he doth burn 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)

Jehovah of hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob! (Selah)
