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
To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. On Alamoth. A song.
1God#GodHebrew: Elohim is our refuge and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found. 2Therefore will we not fear though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the heart of the seas; 3Though the waters thereof roar and foam, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. 4There is a river the streams whereof make glad the city of God#GodHebrew: Elohim the sanctuary of the habitations of the Most High. 5God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God#GodHebrew: Elohim shall help her at the dawn of the morning.
6The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; he uttered his voice, the earth melted. 7Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God#GodHebrew: Elohim of Jacob is our high fortress. Selah. 8Come, behold the works of Jehovah, what desolations he hath made in the earth: 9He hath made wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariots in the fire. 10Be still, and know that I am God#GodHebrew: Elohim I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. 11Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God#GodHebrew: Elohim of Jacob is our high fortress. Selah.
