Psalms 46
1 To the choirmaster of [the] sons of Korah on alamoth a song. God of us [is] a refuge and strength a help in troubles he is found exceedingly.
God is the one who protects us and causes us to be strong; he is always ready to help us when we have troubles.
2 There-fore not we will fear when changes [the] earth and when shake mountains in [the] heart of [the] seas.
So, even if the earth shakes, we will not be afraid. Even if the mountains fall into the middle of the sea,
3 They will roar they will foam waters its they will shake mountains at swelling its (Selah)
and if the water in the sea roars and foams, and the hills shake violently, we will not be afraid!
4 A river streams its they make glad [the] city of God [the] holy [place] of [the] dwellings of [the] Most High.
[Blessings that come from] God are like a river that makes everyone in the city where [we worship] God joyful. It is the city where the temple of God, who is greater than any other god, exists.
5 God [is] in midst its not it will be shaken he will help it God to [the] turning of [the] morning.
God is in this city, and it will never be destroyed; he will [come to] help [the people in] that city at dawn every day.
6 They were in a tumult nations they shook kingdoms he gave with voice his it melted [the] earth.
[Sometimes] the [people of many] nations are terrified; kingdoms (are overthrown/cease to exist); God speaks [loudly like thunder], and the earth melts (OR, people everywhere become terrified) [MET].
7 Yahweh of hosts [is] with us [is] a refuge of us [the] God of Jacob (Selah)
But Yahweh, the commander of the armies of heaven, is with us; the God whom Jacob worshiped (OR, we Israeli people worship) is our refuge.
8 Come see [the] works of Yahweh who he has appointed desolations on the earth.
Come and (see/think about) the amazing things that Yahweh has done [DOU]!
9 [he is] making cease Wars to [the] end of the earth bow[s] he breaks and he cuts in two spear[s] carts he burns with fire.
He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows [and arrows]; he destroys spears; he burns up shields.
10 Be quiet and know that I [am] God I will be exalted among the nations I will be exalted on the earth.
[God says], “Be quiet, and remember that I am God! I will be honored by the people of all nations. I will be honored all over the earth.”
11 Yahweh of hosts [is] with us [is] a refuge of us [the] God of Jacob (Selah)
[So never forget that] Yahweh, the commander of the armies of heaven, is with us; the God whom Jacob worshiped (OR, we Israeli people worship) is our refuge.
