Psalm 46

1 God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, And though the mountains be shaken into the heart of the seas;

3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, Though the mountains tremble with the swelling thereof. Selah

4 There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.

5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God will help her, and that right early.

6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved: He uttered his voice, the earth melted.

7 Jehovah of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

8 Come, behold the works of Jehovah, What desolations he hath made in the earth.

9 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 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; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

Psalm 46

For the music director; by the Korahites; according to the alamoth style; a song.

1 God is our strong refuge;
he is truly our helper in times of trouble.

2 For this reason we do not fear when the earth shakes,
and the mountains tumble into the depths of the sea,

3 when its waves crash and foam,
and the mountains shake before the surging sea. (Selah)

4 The river’s channels bring joy to the city of God,
the special, holy dwelling place of the sovereign One.

5 God lives within it, it cannot be moved.
God rescues it at the break of dawn.

6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms are overthrown.
God gives a shout, the earth dissolves.

7 The Lord who commands armies is on our side!
The God of Jacob is our protector! (Selah)

8 Come! Witness the exploits of the Lord,
who brings devastation to the earth!

9 He brings an end to wars throughout the earth;
he shatters the bow and breaks the spear;
he burns the shields with fire.

10 He says, “Stop your striving and recognize that I am God!
I will be exalted over the nations! I will be exalted over the earth!”

11 The Lord who commands armies is on our side!
The God of Jacob is our protector! (Selah)
