PSALM 46

God Is Our Refuge and Strength

For the choir director. Of the sons of Korah. ^†According to Alamoth. A Song.

¹God is our ^arefuge and strength,

¹A very ^bpresent help ^cin ²trouble.

²Therefore we will ^anot fear, though ^bthe earth should change

And though ^cthe mountains shake into the heart of the ¹sea;

³Though its ^awaters roar and foam,

Though the mountains quake at its lofty pride. ¹Selah.

⁴There is a ^ariver whose streams make glad the ^bcity of God,

The holy ^cdwelling places of the Most High.

⁵God is ^ain the midst of her, she will not be shaken;

God will ^bhelp her ¹when morning dawns.

⁶The ¹nations ^aroar, the kingdoms shake;

He ^bgives His voice, the earth ^cmelts.

⁷Yahweh of hosts ^ais with us;

The God of Jacob is ^bour stronghold. Selah.

⁸Come, ^abehold the works of Yahweh,

¹Who has appointed ^bdesolations in the earth.

⁹He ^amakes wars to cease to the end of the earth;

He ^bbreaks the bow and cuts up the spear;

He ^cburns the chariots with fire.

¹⁰“¹Cease striving and ^aknow that I am God;

I will be ^bexalted among the ²nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

¹¹Yahweh of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.
