Psalm 46    

For the Musical Director.
Of the sons of Korah.
According to young women, a song.

 ¹ God is our refuge and protection,

 a very present help in distressful times.

 

 ² Therefore we will not fear,

 though the earth changes,

 though the mountains are shaken

 into the heart of the seas,

 

 ³ though its waters roar and foam,

 though the mountains quake at its swelling. Selah.

 

 
⁴ There is a river,

 the streams of which make the city of God glad,

 the holy place of the dwelling of the Most High.

 

 ⁵ God is in its midst. The city will not be moved.

 God will help it at dawn.

 

 ⁶ The nations roar. The kingdoms are shaken.

 He gave forth his voice and the earth melted.

 

 ⁷ Yahweh of Armies is with us.

 The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

 

 
⁸ Come! See Yahweh’s works,

 what desolations he has made on the earth.

 

 ⁹ He causes wars to cease to the end of the earth.

 He shatters the bow and chops off the spear.

 He burns the carts in the fire.

 

 ¹⁰ “Stop! And know that I am God.

 I will be exalted among the nations.

 I will be exalted in the earth.”

 

 ¹¹ Yahweh of Armies is with us.

 The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
