Psalms 46

1 Unto the end. To the sons of Korah, for confidants. A Psalm. Our God is our refuge and strength, a helper in the tribulations that have greatly overwhelmed us.

[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 Because of this, we will not be afraid when the earth will be turbulent and the mountains will be transferred into the heart of the sea.

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

3 They thundered, and the waters were stirred up among them; the mountains have been disturbed by his strength.

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

4 The frenzy of the river rejoices the city of God. The Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.

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 its midst; it will not be shaken. God will assist it in the early morning.

God is in her midst. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.

6 The peoples have been disturbed, and the kingdoms have been bowed down. He uttered his voice: the earth has been moved.

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

7 The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our supporter.

Jehovah of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)

8 Draw near and behold the works of the Lord: what portents he has set upon the earth,

Come, see Jehovah's works, what desolations he has made in the earth.

9 carrying away wars even to the end of the earth. He will crush the bow and break the weapons, and he will burn the shield with fire.

He makes wars cease throughout the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots in the fire.

10 Be empty, and see that I am God. I will be exalted among the peoples, and I will be exalted upon 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 The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our supporter.

Jehovah of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
