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 Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. 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 we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

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

though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. (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 of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents 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 within her. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.

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

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

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

Yahweh of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

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

Come, see Yahweh’s works, what desolations he has 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 makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots 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 in the earth.”

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

Yahweh of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
