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.

Unto the end, for the sons of Core, for the hidden. Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.

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, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.

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

Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength.

4 A river — its rivulets rejoice the city of God, Thy holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.

The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.

5 God [is] in her midst — she is not moved, God doth help her at the turn of the morn!

God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early.

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

Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.

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

The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.

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

Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon 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.

Making wars to cease even to the end of the earth. He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: and the shield he shall burn 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 see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.

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

The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
