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

Psalms 46
46
God the Refuge of His People and Conqueror of the Nations
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song #1 Chr. 15:20for Alamoth.
1God is our #Ps. 62:7, 8refuge and strength,
#(Deut. 4:7; Ps. 145:18)A very present help in trouble.
2Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3#(Ps. 93:3, 4)Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling.
Selah
4There is a #(Ezek. 47:1–12)river whose streams shall make glad the #Ps. 48:1, 8; Is. 60:14city of God,
The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.
5God is #(Deut. 23:14; Is. 12:6); Ezek. 43:7; Hos. 11:9; (Joel 2:27; Zeph. 3:15; Zech. 2:5, 10, 11; 8:3)in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;
God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.
6#Ps. 2:1, 2The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved;
He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
7The #Num. 14:9; 2 Chr. 13:12Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah
8Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has made desolations in the earth.
9#Is. 2:4He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
#Ps. 76:3He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
#Ezek. 39:9He burns the chariot in the fire.
10Be still, and know that I am God;
#(Is. 2:11, 17)I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!
11The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah
