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 Overseer. — By sons of Korah. 'For the Virgins.' — A song. God [is] to us a refuge and strength, A help in adversities found most surely.

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

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

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

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

A river — its rivulets rejoice the city of God, Thy holy place of the tabernacles 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 is not moved, God doth help her at the turn of the morn!

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

Troubled have been nations, Moved have been kingdoms, He hath given forth with His voice, earth melteth.

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

Jehovah of Hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob. (Selah)

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

Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done astonishing things in 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.

Causing wars to cease, Unto the end of the earth, the bow he shivereth, And the spear He hath cut asunder, Chariots he doth burn with fire.

10 “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. 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 Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

Jehovah of hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob! (Selah)
