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.

Psalm 46
For the music leader. Of the Korahites. According to Alamoth.#46.0 Heb uncertain; see the note at Pss 9–10. A song.
1God is our refuge and strength,
a help always near in times of great trouble.
2That’s why we won’t be afraid when the world falls apart,
when the mountains crumble into the center of the sea,
3when its waters roar and rage,
when the mountains shake because of its surging waves. Selah
4There is a river whose streams gladden God’s city,
the holiest dwelling of the Most High.
5God is in that city. It will never crumble.
God will help it when morning dawns.
6Nations roar; kingdoms crumble.
God utters his voice; the earth melts.
7The LORD of heavenly forces is with us!
The God of Jacob is our place of safety. Selah
8Come, see the LORD’s deeds,
what devastation he has imposed on the earth—
9bringing wars to an end in every corner of the world,
breaking the bow and shattering the spear,
burning chariots with fire.
10“That’s enough! Now know that I am God!
I am exalted among all nations; I am exalted throughout the world!”
11The LORD of heavenly forces is with us!
The God of Jacob is our place of safety. Selah
