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
46
1-3God is a safe place to hide,
ready to help when we need him.
We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom,
courageous in seastorm and earthquake,
Before the rush and roar of oceans,
the tremors that shift mountains.
Jacob-wrestling God fights for us,
God-of-Angel-Armies protects us.
4-6River fountains splash joy, cooling God’s city,
this sacred haunt of the Most High.
God lives here, the streets are safe,
God at your service from crack of dawn.
Godless nations rant and rave, kings and kingdoms threaten,
but Earth does anything he says.
7Jacob-wrestling God fights for us,
God-of-Angel-Armies protects us.
8-10Attention, all! See the marvels of God!
He plants flowers and trees all over the earth,
Bans war from pole to pole,
breaks all the weapons across his knee.
“Step out of the traffic! Take a long,
loving look at me, your High God,
above politics, above everything.”
11Jacob-wrestling God fights for us,
God-of-Angel-Armies protects us.
