Psalm 46a

For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. According to alamoth.b A song.

1 God is our refugem and strength,n

an ever-presento helpp in trouble.q

2 Therefore we will not fear,r though the earth give ways

and the mountains fallt into the heart of the sea,u

3 though its waters roarv and foamw

and the mountains quakex with their surging.c

4 There is a rivery whose streamsz make glad the city of God,a

the holy place where the Most Highb dwells.c

5 God is within her,d she will not fall;e

God will helpf her at break of day.

6 Nationsg are in uproar,h kingdomsi fall;

he lifts his voice,j the earth melts.k

7 The Lord Almightyl is with us;m

the God of Jacobn is our fortress.o

8 Come and see what the Lord has done,p

the desolationsq he has brought on the earth.

9 He makes warsr cease

to the ends of the earth.

He breaks the bows and shatters the spear;

he burns the shieldsd with fire.t

10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;u

I will be exaltedv among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 The Lord Almighty is with us;

the God of Jacobw is our fortress.x
