Psalms 46
46
Psalm 46
God the Refuge of His People.
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah, set to soprano voices. A Song.
1God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable],
A very present and well-proved help in trouble.
2Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains be shaken and slip into the heart of the seas,
3Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains tremble at its roaring. Selah.
4¶There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
5God is in the midst of her [His city], she will not be moved;
God will help her when the morning dawns.
6The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered and were moved;
He raised His voice, the earth melted.
7The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold [our refuge, our high tower]. Selah.
8¶Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has brought desolations and wonders on the earth.
9He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow into pieces and snaps the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.
10“Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth.”
11The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold [our refuge, our high tower]. Selah.

Psalms 46
46
To the director: A song from the Korah family. Use the alamoth.#Psalm 46 alamoth This might be a musical instrument, a special way of tuning an instrument, a music style, or one of the groups that played harps in the Temple orchestra. See 1 Chron. 15:21. A song.
1God is our protection and source of strength.
He is always ready to help us in times of trouble.
2So we are not afraid when the earth quakes
and the mountains fall into the sea.
3We are not afraid when the seas become rough and dark
and the mountains tremble. Selah
4There is a river whose streams bring happiness to God’s city,
to the holy city of God Most High.
5God is in that city, so it will never be destroyed.
He is there to help even before sunrise.
6Nations will shake with fear and kingdoms will fall
when God shouts and makes the earth move.
7The Lord All-Powerful is with us.
The God of Jacob is our place of safety. Selah
8Look at the powerful things the Lord has done.
See the awesome things he has done on earth.
9He stops wars all over the world.
He breaks the soldiers’ bows, shatters their spears, and burns their shields.#46:9 shields Or “chariots.”
10God says, “Stop fighting and know that I am God!
I am the one who defeats the nations;
I am the one who controls the world.”
11The Lord All-Powerful is with us.
The God of Jacob is our place of safety. Selah
