Psalm 46

God the Refuge of His People and Conqueror of the Nations

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song aFor Alamoth.

1 God is our brefuge and strength, cA 1very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear,

Even though the earth be removed,

And though the mountains be carried into the 2midst of the sea;

3 dThough its waters roar and be troubled,

Though the mountains shake with its swelling.

Selah

4 There is a eriver whose streams shall make glad the fcity of God,

The holy place of the 3tabernacle of the Most High.

5 God is gin the midst of her, she shall not be 4moved;

God shall help her, just 5at the break of dawn.

6 hThe nations raged, the kingdoms were moved;

He uttered His voice, the earth melted.

7 The iLord of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our refuge.

Selah

8 Come, behold the works of the Lord,

Who has made desolations in the earth.

9 jHe makes wars cease to the end of the earth;

kHe breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;

lHe burns the chariot in the fire.

10 Be still, and know that I am God;

mI will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth!

11 The Lord of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our refuge.

Selah
