Psalms 46
46
For the Chief Musician: a Psalm of the sons of Korah; set to Alamoth. A Song.
1God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
2Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change,
And though the mountains be moved in the heart of the seas;
3Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah
4There is a river, the streams whereof 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 nations 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 chariots in the fire.
10Be still, and know that I am God:
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

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.
