Psalms 46
46
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.

46
(For the one directing. Of the Bnei Korach. Al-alamot.#46:0 after the manner of virgins, i.e., in the treble Shir)
1 Elohim is our refuge and strength, a very present help in tzoros.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though eretz be shaken, and though the harim (mountains) fall into the lev yamim (heart of the seas);
3 Though the mayim thereof roar and be troubled, though the harim shake with the surging thereof. Selah
4 There is a nahar (river), the streams whereof shall make glad the Ir Elohim, the Kedosh Mishkenei Elyon (the holy dwelling of the Most High).
5 Elohim is in the midst of it;#46:5 i.e., the Ir Elohim it shall not be moved; Elohim shall help it at early boker.
6 The Goyim raged, the kingdoms totter; He uttered His voice, eretz melted.
7 Hashem Tzva'os is with us; Elohei Ya'akov is our stronghold. Selah
8 Come, behold the works of Hashem, what desolations He hath made in ha'aretz.
9 He maketh milchamot to cease unto the end of ha'aretz; He breaketh the keshet (bow), and cutteth the khanit (spear); He burneth the chariots in the eish.
10 Be still, and know that I am Elohim: I will be exalted among the Goyim, I will be exalted in ha'aretz.
11 Hashem Tzva'os is with us; Elohei Ya'akov is our stronghold. Selah
