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.

TO THE OVERSEER. BY SONS OF KORAH. FOR GIRLS’ [VOICES]. A SONG. God [is] our refuge and strength, A most sure help in adversities.

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 we do not fear in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.

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

Roar—troubled are its waters, Mountains shake in its pride. (Selah)

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.

A river—its streams make glad the city of God, Your holy place of the dwelling places of the Most High.

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

God [is] in her midst—she is not moved, God helps her at the turn of the morning!

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

Nations have been troubled, Kingdoms have been moved, He has given forth with His voice—earth melts.

7 The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is] our refuge. (Selah)

YHWH of Hosts [is] with us, The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us. (Selah)

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

Come, see the works of YHWH, Who has done astonishing things in 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.

Causing wars to cease, To the end of the earth, He shatters the bow, And He has cut apart the spear, He burns chariots 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.

Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.

11 The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is] our refuge. (Selah)

YHWH of hosts [is] with us, The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us! (Selah)
