Psalms 46
46
God Provides for and Protects His People
For the music director. Of the sons of Korah.
According to Alamoth. A song.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm; the English verse number is reduced by one
1God is our refuge and strength,
a very sufficient help in troubles.
2Therefore we will not fear though the earth change,
and though the mountains totter into the midst#Literally “heart” of the sea,
3though its waters roar and foam,
though mountains shake with its surging water. Selah
4There is a river whose streams gladden the city of God,
the holiest of the dwellings of the Most High.
5God is in the midst of her;
she will not be made to totter.
God will help her at daybreak.#Literally “at the turning of the morning”
6Nations roar, kingdoms shake;
he utters his voice, the earth melts.
7Yahweh of hosts is with us;
our high stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah
8Come, see the works of Yahweh,
who has placed desolations on the earth.
9He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth;
he breaks the bow and cuts off the spear.
The wagons of war he burns with fire.
10Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations;
I will be exalted in the earth.
11Yahweh of Hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our high stronghold.

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
