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.

For the choirmaster. Of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble.

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

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth is transformed and the mountains are toppled into the depths of the seas,

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

though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge.

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 whose streams delight the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.

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

God is within her; she will not be moved. God will help her when morning dawns.

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

Nations rage, kingdoms crumble; the earth melts when He lifts His voice.

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 fortress.

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

Come, see the works of the LORD, who brings devastation upon 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 makes wars to cease throughout the earth; He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the shields 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.”

“Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted over 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 fortress.
