PSALM 46
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician, for the sons of Korah,
A Song upon Alomoth.
1God is our refuge and our strength,
in straits a present aid;
2Therefore, although the earth remove,
we will not be afraid:
Though hills amidst the seas be cast;
3Though waters roaring make,
And troubled be; yea, though the hills,
by swelling seas do shake.
4A river is, whose streams do glad
the city of our God;
The holy place, wherein the Lord
most high hath his abode.
5God in the midst of her doth dwell;
nothing shall her remove:
The Lord to her an helper will,
and that right early, prove.
6The heathen rag'd tumultuously,
the kingdoms moved were:
The Lord God uttered his voice,
the earth did melt for fear.
7The Lord of hosts upon our side
doth constantly remain:
The God of Jacob's our refuge,
us safely to maintain.
8Come, and behold what wondrous works
have by the Lord been wrought;
Come, see what desolations
he on the earth hath brought.
9Unto the ends of all the earth
wars into peace he turns:
The bow he breaks, the spear he cuts,
in fire the chariot burns.
10Be still, and know that I am God;
among the heathen I
Will be exalted; I on earth
will be exalted high.
11Our God, who is the Lord of hosts,
is still upon our side;
The God of Jacob our refuge
for ever will abide.

Psalms 46
46
God the Refuge of His People and Conqueror of the Nations
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song #1 Chr. 15:20for Alamoth.
1God is our #Ps. 62:7, 8refuge and strength,
#(Deut. 4:7; Ps. 145:18)A very present help in trouble.
2Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3#(Ps. 93:3, 4)Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling.
Selah
4There is a #(Ezek. 47:1–12)river whose streams shall make glad the #Ps. 48:1, 8; Is. 60:14city of God,
The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.
5God is #(Deut. 23:14; Is. 12:6); Ezek. 43:7; Hos. 11:9; (Joel 2:27; Zeph. 3:15; Zech. 2:5, 10, 11; 8:3)in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;
God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.
6#Ps. 2:1, 2The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved;
He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
7The #Num. 14:9; 2 Chr. 13:12Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah
8Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has made desolations in the earth.
9#Is. 2:4He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
#Ps. 76:3He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
#Ezek. 39:9He burns the chariot in the fire.
10Be still, and know that I am God;
#(Is. 2:11, 17)I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!
11The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah
