Psalm 46

For the chief musician. A psalm of the sons of Korah; set to Alamoth. A song.

1God is our refuge and strength,

a very present help in trouble.

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

though the mountains should be shaken into the heart of the seas,

3though its waters roar and rage, and

though the mountains tremble with their swelling. Selah

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

the holy place where the Most High dwells.

5God is in the middle of her; she will not be moved;

God will help her, and he will do so at the dawn of morning.

6The nations raged and the kingdoms were shaken;

he lifted up his voice, and the earth melted.

7Yahweh of hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

8Come, behold the deeds of Yahweh,

the destruction he has caused on earth.

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

he breaks the bow and cuts the spear into pieces;

he burns up the shields.

10Be quiet and know that I am God;

I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted on the earth.

11Yahweh of hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
