< 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.
To him that excelleth upon Alamoth a song committed to the sonnes of Korah. God is our hope and strength, and helpe in troubles, ready to be found.
2 Therefore we fear not in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.
Therefore will not we feare, though the earth be moued, and though the mountaines fall into the middes of the sea.
3 Roar — troubled are its waters, Mountains they shake in its pride. (Selah)
Though the waters thereof rage and be troubled, and the mountaines shake at the surges of the same. (Selah)
4 A river — its rivulets rejoice the city of God, Thy holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
Yet there is a Riuer, whose streames shall make glad the citie of God: euen the Sanctuarie of the Tabernacles of the most High.
5 God [is] in her midst — she is not moved, God doth help her at the turn of the morn!
God is in the middes of it: therefore shall it not be moued: God shall helpe it very earely.
6 Troubled have been nations, Moved have been kingdoms, He hath given forth with His voice, earth melteth.
When the nations raged, and the kingdomes were moued, God thundred, and the earth melted.
7 Jehovah of Hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob. (Selah)
The Lord of hostes is with vs: the God of Iaakob is our refuge. (Selah)
8 Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done astonishing things in the earth,
Come, and behold the workes of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in 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 maketh warres to cease vnto the endes of the world: he breaketh the bowe and cutteth the speare, and burneth the chariots with fire.
10 Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.
Be still and knowe that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, and I wil 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 hostes is with vs: the God of Iaakob is our refuge. (Selah)
