God Provides for and Protects His People

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

According to Alamoth. A song.a

1 God is our refuge and strength,

a very sufficient help in troubles.

2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth change,

and though the mountains totter into the ⌊midst⌋b of the sea,

3 though its waters roar and foam,

though mountains shake with its surging water. Selah

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

the holiest of the dwellings of the Most High.

5 God is in the midst of her;

she will not be made to totter.

God will help her ⌊at daybreak⌋.c

6 Nations roar, kingdoms shake;

he utters his voice, the earth melts.

7 Yahweh of hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our high stronghold. Selah

8 Come, see the works of Yahweh,

who has placed desolations on the earth.

9 He 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.”

11 Yahweh of Hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our high stronghold. Selah
