Psalms 46

1 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.

“For the leader of the music. Of, or for, the sons of Korah. To be sung in the manner, or with the voice, of virgins.” God is our refuge and strength; An ever present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains should be shaken into the heart of the seas,

Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be changed; Though the mountains tremble in the heart of the sea;

3 though its waters roar and rage, and though the mountains tremble with their swelling. (Selah)

Though its waters roar and be troubled, And the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Pause)

4 There is a river whose streams make the city of God happy, the holy place where the Most High dwells.

A river with its streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy dwelling-place of the Most High.

5 God is in the middle of her; she will not be moved; God will help her, and he will do so at the dawn of morning.

God is the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her, and that full early.

6 The nations raged and the kingdoms were shaken; he lifted up his voice, and the earth melted.

The nations raged; kingdoms were moved; He uttered his voice, the earth melted.

7 Yahweh of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

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

8 Come, behold the deeds of Yahweh, the destruction he has caused on earth.

Come, behold the doings of the LORD; What desolations he hath made in the earth!

9 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he breaks the bow and cuts the spear into pieces; he burns up the shields.

He causeth wars to cease to the end of the earth; He hath broken the bow, and snapped the spear asunder, And burned the chariots in fire.

10 Be quiet and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted on the earth.

“Desist, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted throughout the earth!”

11 Yahweh of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.
