Psalms 46

1 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.

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 fear not in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains 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 Roar — troubled are its waters, Mountains they shake in its pride. (Selah)

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

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

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

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

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

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

The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

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

Come, see the works of the LORD, who brings devastation upon the earth.

9 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.

He makes wars to cease throughout the earth; He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the shields in the fire.

10 Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am 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 Jehovah of hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob! (Selah)

The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
