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
For the choir director: A song of the descendants of Korah, to be sung by soprano voices.#46:TITLE Hebrew according to alamoth.
1God is our refuge and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble.
2So we will not fear when earthquakes come
and the mountains crumble into the sea.
3Let the oceans roar and foam.
Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge! Interlude
4A river brings joy to the city of our God,
the sacred home of the Most High.
5God dwells in that city; it cannot be destroyed.
From the very break of day, God will protect it.
6The nations are in chaos,
and their kingdoms crumble!
God’s voice thunders,
and the earth melts!
7The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us;
the God of Israel#46:7 Hebrew of Jacob; also in 46:11. See note on 44:4. is our fortress. Interlude
8Come, see the glorious works of the Lord:
See how he brings destruction upon the world.
9He causes wars to end throughout the earth.
He breaks the bow and snaps the spear;
he burns the shields with fire.
10“Be still, and know that I am God!
I will be honored by every nation.
I will be honored throughout the world.”
11The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us;
the God of Israel is our fortress. Interlude
