Psalms 46
46
To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. ‘For the Virgins.’ — A song.
1God [is] to us a refuge and strength, A help in adversities found most surely.
2Therefore we fear not in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.
3Roar — troubled are its waters, Mountains they shake in its pride. Selah.
4A river — its rivulets rejoice the city of God, Thy holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
5God [is] in her midst — she is not moved, God doth help her at the turn of the morn!
6Troubled have been nations, Moved have been kingdoms, He hath given forth with His voice, earth melteth.
7 Jehovah of Hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob. Selah.
8Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done astonishing things in the earth,
9Causing wars to cease, Unto the end of the earth, the bow he shivereth, And the spear He hath cut asunder, Chariots he doth burn with fire.
10Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.
11 Jehovah of hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob! 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.
