Psalms 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
God is with Us#Ps 46 Hebrew title: A song by the clan of Korah.
1God is our shelter and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble.
2So we will not be afraid, even if the earth is shaken
and mountains fall into the ocean depths;
3even if the seas roar and rage,
and the hills are shaken by the violence.
4There is a river that brings joy to the city of God,
to the sacred house of the Most High.
5God is in that city, and it will never be destroyed;
at early dawn he will come to its aid.
6Nations are terrified, kingdoms are shaken;
God thunders, and the earth dissolves.
7The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.
8Come and see what the LORD has done.
See what amazing things he has done on earth.
9He stops wars all over the world;
he breaks bows, destroys spears,
and sets shields on fire.
10“Stop fighting,” he says, “and know that I am God,
supreme among the nations,
supreme over the world.”
11The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.
