PSALM 46

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A Song.

1 God is our refuge and strength,

a very presentl help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth should change,

though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea;

3 though its waters roar and foam,

though the mountains tremble with its tumult. [Selah]

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

the holy habitation of the Most High.

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

God will help her right early.

6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;

he utters his voice, the earth melts.

7 The Lord of hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our refuge.m [Selah]

8 Come, behold the works of the Lord,

how he has wrought desolations in the earth.

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

he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear,

he burns the chariots with fire!

10 “Be still, and know that I am God.

I am exalted among the nations,

I am exalted in the earth!”

11 The Lord of hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our refuge. [Selah]
