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
God Provides for and Protects His People
For the music director. Of the sons of Korah.
According to Alamoth. A song.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm; the English verse number is reduced by one
1God is our refuge and strength,
a very sufficient help in troubles.
2Therefore we will not fear though the earth change,
and though the mountains totter into the midst#Literally “heart” of the sea,
3though its waters roar and foam,
though mountains shake with its surging water. Selah
4There is a river whose streams gladden the city of God,
the holiest of the dwellings of the Most High.
5God is in the midst of her;
she will not be made to totter.
God will help her at daybreak.#Literally “at the turning of the morning”
6Nations roar, kingdoms shake;
he utters his voice, the earth melts.
7Yahweh of hosts is with us;
our high stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah
8Come, see the works of Yahweh,
who has placed desolations on the earth.
9He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth;
he breaks the bow and cuts off the spear.
The wagons of war he burns with fire.
10Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations;
I will be exalted in the earth.
11Yahweh of Hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our high stronghold.
