Psalm 46
For the choir director. A song of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.c
1 God is our refuge and strength,
a helper who is always found
in times of trouble.d
2 Therefore we will not be afraid,
though the earth trembles
and the mountains topple
into the depths of the seas,e
3 though its water roars and foams
and the mountains quake with its turmoil.f
Selah
its streams delight the city of God,
the holy dwelling place of the Most High.g
5 God is within her; she will not be toppled.
God will help her when the morning dawns.h
6 Nations rage, kingdoms topple;
the earth melts when he lifts his voice.i
7 The Lord of Armies is with us;
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.j
Selah
8 Come, see the works of the Lord,
who brings devastation on the earth.k
9 He makes wars cease throughout the earth.
He shatters bows and cuts spears to pieces;
he sets wagons ablaze.l
10 “Stop fighting, and know that I am God,
exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth.”m
11 The Lord of Armies is with us;
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.n
Selah
