Psalm 46
For the choir director; a song by the descendants of Korah; according to alamoth.#46:0 Unknown musical term.
1God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in times of trouble.
2That is why we are not afraid
even when the earth quakes
or the mountains topple into the depths of the sea.
3Water roars and foams,
and mountains shake at the surging waves. Selah
4There is a river
whose streams bring joy to the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High lives.
5God is in that city.
It cannot fall.
God will help it at the break of dawn.
6Nations are in turmoil, and kingdoms topple.
The earth melts at the sound of ⌞God’s⌟ voice.
7The Lord of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah
8Come, see the works of the Lord,
the devastation he has brought to the earth.
9He puts an end to wars all over the earth.
He breaks an archer’s bow.
He cuts spears in two.
He burns chariots.
10Let go ⌞of your concerns⌟!
Then you will know that I am God.
I rule the nations.
I rule the earth.
11The Lord of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah

Psalms 46

Psalm 46
God the Refuge of His People.
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah, set to soprano voices. A Song.
1God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable],
A very present and well-proved help in trouble.
2Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains be shaken and slip into the heart of the seas,
3Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains tremble at its roaring. Selah.
4¶There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
5God is in the midst of her [His city], she will not be moved;
God will help her when the morning dawns.
6The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered and were moved;
He raised His voice, the earth melted.
7The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold [our refuge, our high tower]. Selah.
8¶Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has brought desolations and wonders on the earth.
9He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow into pieces and snaps the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.
10“Be still and know (recognize, understand) 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 stronghold [our refuge, our high tower]. Selah.
