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

Psalm 46
46
To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth.
1God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
2Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God,
The holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved:
God shall help her, and that right early.
6The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved:
He uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8Come, behold the works of the LORD,
What desolations he hath made in the earth.
9He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth;
He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariot in the fire.
10Be still, and know that I am God:
I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
11The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
