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 Leader; a Psalm of the sons of Korah; upon Alamoth. A Song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

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

Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, and though the mountains be moved into the heart of the seas;

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

Though the waters thereof roar and foam, though the mountains shake at the swelling thereof. (Selah)

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

There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the holiest dwelling-place 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 midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, at the approach of morning.

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

Nations were in tumult, kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.

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 high tower. (Selah)

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

Come, behold the works of the LORD, who hath made desolations 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 wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariots in the fire.

10 Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.

'Let be, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, 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 hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
