Psalms 46

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

9 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.

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.

10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.

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

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