Psalms 46

1 For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

To the Chief Musician. For the Sons of Korah, on Alamoth. A Song. God—for us, is a refuge and strength, A help in distresses, soon found.

2 Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

For this cause, will we not fear, Though the earth showeth change, Or the mountains slip into the heart of the seas:

3 though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. (Selah)

The waters thereof roar and foam, The mountains tremble with the swelling thereof (Selah)

4 There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

A river! whose channels, shall gladden the city of God, The Most High, hath hallowed his habitation.

5 God is within her. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.

God, is in the midst of her, she shall not be shaken, God will help her, by the turnings of the morning.

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

Nations have roared, Kingdoms have tottered, He hath uttered his voice, Earth melteth.

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

Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. (Selah)

8 Come, see Yahweh’s works, what desolations he has made in the earth.

Come! view the doings of Yahweh, —Who hath set desolations in the earth;

9 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.

Causing wars to cease unto the end of the earth, —The bow, he shivereth, And breaketh in pieces the spear, war-chariots, burneth he up with fire.

10 “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be 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 Yahweh of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
