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.

Psalms 46
46
PSALM 46
God the Refuge of His People.
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah, set to soprano voices. A Song.
1God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable],
A very present and well-proved help in trouble.
2Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains be shaken and slip into the heart of the seas,
3Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains tremble at its roaring. Selah.
4There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
5God is in the midst of her [His city], she will not be moved;
God will help her when the morning dawns.
6The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered and were moved;
He raised His voice, the earth melted.
7The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold [our refuge, our high tower]. Selah.
8Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has brought desolations and wonders on the earth.
9He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow into pieces and snaps the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.
10“Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God.
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 stronghold [our refuge, our high tower]. Selah.
