Psalm 46

GOD OUR REFUGE

For the choir director. A song of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.c

God is our refuge and strength,

a helper who is always found

in times of trouble.d

Therefore we will not be afraid,

though the earth trembles

and the mountains topple

into the depths of the seas,e

though its water roars and foams

and the mountains quake with its turmoil.f

Selah

There is a river—

its streams delight the city of God,

the holy dwelling place of the Most High.g

God is within her; she will not be toppled.

God will help her when the morning dawns.h

Nations rage, kingdoms topple;

the earth melts when he lifts his voice.i

The Lord of Armies is with us;

the God of Jacob is our stronghold.j

Selah

Come, see the works of the Lord,

who brings devastation on the earth.k

He makes wars cease throughout the earth.

He shatters bows and cuts spears to pieces;

he sets wagons ablaze.l

10 “Stop fighting, and know that I am God,

exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth.”m

11 The Lord of Armies is with us;

the God of Jacob is our stronghold.n

Selah

About Christian Standard Bible

The Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others.

The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today.

The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths.

The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible.
