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

God's Defense of His City and People
To the leader. Of the Korahites. According to Alamoth. A Song.
1God is our refuge and strength,
a very present#46.1 Or well proved help in trouble.
2Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change,
though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea;
3though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble with its tumult. Selah
4There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy habitation of the Most High.
5God is in the midst of the city;#46.5 Heb of it it shall not be moved;
God will help it when the morning dawns.
6The nations are in an uproar, the kingdoms totter;
he utters his voice, the earth melts.
7The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.#46.7 Or fortress Selah
8Come, behold the works of the Lord;
see what desolations he has brought on the earth.
9He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields with fire.
10“Be still, and know that I am God!
I am exalted among the nations,
I am exalted in the earth.”
11The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.#46.11 Or fortress Selah
