Psalms 46

1 For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

“To the chief musician: by the sons of Korach, upon 'Alamoth, a song.” God is our protection and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.

2 Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

Therefore will we not fear, even when the earth is transformed, and when mountains are moved into the heart of the seas;

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

[When] the waters thereof roar and foam, when mountains quake before his majesty. (Selah)

4 There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

[There] is a river, its rivulets cause to rejoice the city of God, the sanctuary of the dwellings of the Most High.

5 God is within her. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.

God is in her midst; she shall not be moved: God will ever help her, at the dawning of [her] morning.

6 The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice and the earth melted.

Nations rage, kingdoms are moved: he letteth his voice be heard, the earth melteth away.

7 The LORD of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

The Lord of hosts is with us; a defense unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)

8 Come, see the LORD’s works, what desolations he has made in the earth.

Come, look at the deeds of the Lord, who hath made desolations on the earth.

9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots in the fire.

He causeth wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in pieces; he burneth wagons in the fire.

10 “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted amongst the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.”

Leave off, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted on the earth.

11 The LORD of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

The Lord of hosts is with us; a defence unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
