Psalm 46

God Provides for and Protects His People

46For the music director. Of the sons of Korah.

According to Alamoth. A song.^a

¹God is our refuge and strength,

a very sufficient help in troubles.

²Therefore we will not fear though the earth change,

and though the mountains totter into the midst^b of the sea,

³though its waters roar and foam,

though mountains shake with its surging water. Selah

⁴There is a river whose streams gladden the city of God,

the holiest of the dwellings of the Most High.

⁵God is in the midst of her;

she will not be made to totter.

God will help her at daybreak.^c

⁶Nations roar, kingdoms shake;

he utters his voice, the earth melts.

⁷Yahweh of hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our high stronghold. Selah

⁸Come, see the works of Yahweh,

who has placed desolations on the earth.

⁹He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth;

he breaks the bow and cuts off the spear.

The wagons of war he burns with fire.

¹⁰“Be still, and know that I am God.

I will be exalted among the nations;

I will be exalted in the earth.”

¹¹Yahweh of Hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our high stronghold. Selah
