Psalms 46

1 TO THE OVERSEER. BY SONS OF KORAH. FOR GIRLS’ [VOICES]. A SONG. God [is] our refuge and strength, A most sure help in adversities.

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

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

Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

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

Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Selah)

4 A river—its streams make glad the city of God, Your holy place of the dwelling places of the Most High.

There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

5 God [is] in her midst—she is not moved, God helps her at the turn of the morning!

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

6 Nations have been troubled, Kingdoms have been moved, He has given forth with His voice—earth melts.

The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

7 YHWH of Hosts [is] with us, The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us. (Selah)

The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

8 Come, see the works of YHWH, Who has done astonishing things in the earth,

Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he has made in the earth.

9 Causing wars to cease, To the end of the earth, He shatters the bow, And He has cut apart the spear, He burns chariots with fire.

He makes wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaks the bow, and cuts the spear in two; he burns the chariot 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 heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

11 YHWH of hosts [is] with us, The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us! (Selah)

The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
