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.

Psalms 46
46
God is with Us#Ps 46 Hebrew title: A song by the clan of Korah.
1God is our shelter and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble.
2So we will not be afraid, even if the earth is shaken
and mountains fall into the ocean depths;
3even if the seas roar and rage,
and the hills are shaken by the violence.
4There is a river that brings joy to the city of God,
to the sacred house of the Most High.
5God is in that city, and it will never be destroyed;
at early dawn he will come to its aid.
6Nations are terrified, kingdoms are shaken;
God thunders, and the earth dissolves.
7The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.
8Come and see what the LORD has done.
See what amazing things he has done on earth.
9He stops wars all over the world;
he breaks bows, destroys spears,
and sets shields on fire.
10“Stop fighting,” he says, “and know that I am God,
supreme among the nations,
supreme over the world.”
11The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.
