Psalm 46
For the music leader. Of the Korahites. According to Alamoth.#46.0 Heb uncertain; see the note at Pss 9–10. A song.
1God is our refuge and strength,
a help always near in times of great trouble.
2That’s why we won’t be afraid when the world falls apart,
when the mountains crumble into the center of the sea,
3when its waters roar and rage,
when the mountains shake because of its surging waves. Selah
4There is a river whose streams gladden God’s city,
the holiest dwelling of the Most High.
5God is in that city. It will never crumble.
God will help it when morning dawns.
6Nations roar; kingdoms crumble.
God utters his voice; the earth melts.
7The LORD of heavenly forces is with us!
The God of Jacob is our place of safety. Selah
8Come, see the LORD’s deeds,
what devastation he has imposed on the earth—
9bringing wars to an end in every corner of the world,
breaking the bow and shattering the spear,
burning chariots with fire.
10“That’s enough! Now know that I am God!
I am exalted among all nations; I am exalted throughout the world!”
11The LORD of heavenly forces is with us!
The God of Jacob is our place of safety. Selah

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.
