Psalms 46

1 Unto the end, for the sons of Core, for the hidden. Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.

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 will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed 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 Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength.

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

4 The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified his own 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 the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early.

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

6 Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.

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

7 The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.

8 Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth,

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

9 Making wars to cease even to the end of the earth. He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: and the shield he shall burn in the 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 Be still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be 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.”
