Psalms 46
46
God Our Refuge
For the choir director. A song of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. # This may refer to a high pitch, perhaps a tune sung by soprano voices; the Hb word means “young women.” # 1Ch 15:20
1God is our refuge and strength,
a helper who is always found
in times of trouble. # Ps 9:9; 62:7-8
2Therefore we will not be afraid,
though the earth trembles
and the mountains topple
into the depths of the seas, # Ps 18:7; 82:5
3though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with its turmoil. # Ps 93:3-4; Jr 5:22Selah
4There is a river —
its streams delight the city of God,
the holy dwelling place of the Most High. # Ps 43:3; Rv 22:1-2
5God is within her; she will not be toppled.
God will help her when the morning dawns. # Is 12:6; Zch 2:10-11
6Nations rage, kingdoms topple;
the earth melts when He lifts His voice. # Ps 2:1; Jr 25:30
7The Lord of Hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our stronghold. # Ps 9:9; Jl 3:16Selah
8Come, see the works of the Lord,
who brings devastation on the earth. # Ps 66:5
9He makes wars cease throughout the earth.
He shatters bows and cuts spears to pieces;
He burns up the chariots. # Lit chariots with fire # Ps 76:3; Is 2:4; Mc 4:3
10“Stop your fighting — and know that I am God,
exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth.” # Ps 100:3; Is 2:11,17
11Yahweh of Hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our stronghold. # Ps 9:9; Jl 3:16Selah

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
