Psalms 46
46
(A special song by the clan of Korah and for the music leader.)
God Is Our Mighty Fortress
1God is our mighty fortress,
always ready to help
in times of trouble.
2And so, we won't be afraid!
Let the earth tremble
and the mountains tumble
into the deepest sea.
3Let the ocean roar and foam,
and its raging waves
shake the mountains.
4A river and its streams
bring joy to the city,
which is the sacred home
of God Most High.
5God is in that city,
and it won't be shaken.
He will help it at dawn.
6Nations rage! Kingdoms fall!
But at the voice of God
the earth itself melts.
7The Lord All-Powerful
is with us.
The God of Jacob
is our fortress.
8Come! See the fearsome things
the Lord has done on earth.
9God brings wars to an end
all over the world.
He breaks the arrows,
shatters the spears,
and burns the shields.#46.9 shields: Or “chariots.”
10Our God says, “Calm down,
and learn that I am God!
All nations on earth
will honor me.”
11The Lord All-Powerful
is with us.
The God of Jacob
is our fortress.

Tehillim 46
46
(For the one directing. Of the Bnei Korach. Al-alamot.#46:0 after the manner of virgins, i.e., in the treble Shir)
1 Elohim is our refuge and strength, a very present help in tzoros.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though eretz be shaken, and though the harim (mountains) fall into the lev yamim (heart of the seas);
3 Though the mayim thereof roar and be troubled, though the harim shake with the surging thereof. Selah
4 There is a nahar (river), the streams whereof shall make glad the Ir Elohim, the Kedosh Mishkenei Elyon (the holy dwelling of the Most High).
5 Elohim is in the midst of it;#46:5 i.e., the Ir Elohim it shall not be moved; Elohim shall help it at early boker.
6 The Goyim raged, the kingdoms totter; He uttered His voice, eretz melted.
7 Hashem Tzva'os is with us; Elohei Ya'akov is our stronghold. Selah
8 Come, behold the works of Hashem, what desolations He hath made in ha'aretz.
9 He maketh milchamot to cease unto the end of ha'aretz; He breaketh the keshet (bow), and cutteth the khanit (spear); He burneth the chariots in the eish.
10 Be still, and know that I am Elohim: I will be exalted among the Goyim, I will be exalted in ha'aretz.
11 Hashem Tzva'os is with us; Elohei Ya'akov is our stronghold. Selah
