Psalm 46

For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.

46 God is our refuge and strength,

    a very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes,

    though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

3 though its waters roar and are troubled,

    though the mountains tremble with their swelling. 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.

5 God is within her. She shall not be moved.

    God will help her at dawn.

6 The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved.

    He lifted his voice and the earth melted.

7 Yahweh of Armies is with us.

    The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

8 Come, see Yahweh’s works,

    what desolations he has made 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.

10 “Be still, 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.
