Psalms 46
46
For the music director by the sons of Korah. According to alamoth, a song.
1God is our protection and our strength; always ready to help when troubles come.
2So we will not be afraid though the earth shakes, though the mountains fall into the depths of the sea,
3though the waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble as the waters surge violently! Selah.
4A river flows to bring happiness to those in God's city, the holy place where the Most High lives.
5God is in the midst of the city; it will never fall. God protects it as soon as it is light.#46:5. That is not to say that the city had no protection at night, but that as soon as there was enough light for an enemy to see to attack, God would protect the city.
6Nations are in turmoil, kingdoms collapse. God raises his voice and the earth melts.
7The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob protects us. Selah.
8Come and see what the Lord has achieved! See the amazing things#46:8. The word used here is often translated “desolation” but not all God's actions that are described are destructive. he has done on the earth!
9He stops wars all over the world. He smashes the bow; he breaks the spear; he sets shields on fire.
10Stop fighting! Recognize I am God! I am the ruler of the nations; I am the ruler of the earth.
11The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob protects us. Selah.

Psalm 46
For the choir director; a song by the descendants of Korah; according to alamoth.#46:0 Unknown musical term.
1God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in times of trouble.
2That is why we are not afraid
even when the earth quakes
or the mountains topple into the depths of the sea.
3Water roars and foams,
and mountains shake at the surging waves. Selah
4There is a river
whose streams bring joy to the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High lives.
5God is in that city.
It cannot fall.
God will help it at the break of dawn.
6Nations are in turmoil, and kingdoms topple.
The earth melts at the sound of ⌞God’s⌟ voice.
7The Lord of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah
8Come, see the works of the Lord,
the devastation he has brought to the earth.
9He puts an end to wars all over the earth.
He breaks an archer’s bow.
He cuts spears in two.
He burns chariots.
10Let go ⌞of your concerns⌟!
Then you will know that I am God.
I rule the nations.
I rule the earth.
11The Lord of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah
