Psalms 46

1 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth. God [is] our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

For the end, for the sons of Core; a Psalm concerning secret things. God is our refuge and strength, a help in the afflictions that have come heavily upon us.

2 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth shall be removed, and though the mountains shall be carried into the midst of the sea;

Therefore will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed into the depths of the seas.

3 [Though] its waters shall roar [and] be disturbed, [though] the mountains shake with the swelling of it. (Selah)

Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by his might. (Pause)

4 [There is] a river, the streams of which shall make glad the city of God, the holy [place] of the tabernacles of the Most High.

The flowings of the river gladden the city of God: the Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.

5 God [is] in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, [and that] right early.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her with his countenance.

6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

The nations were troubled, the kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, the earth shook.

7 The LORD 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 helper. (Pause)

8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.

Come, and behold the works of the Lord, what wonders he has achieved on the earth.

9 He maketh wars to cease to the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear asunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.

Putting an end to wars as for the ends of the earth; he will crush the bow, and break in pieces the weapon, and burn the bucklers with fire.

10 Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted among the heathen, 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 The LORD 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 helper.
