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 Protects His People
For the director of music. By alamoth. A psalm of the sons of Korah.
1God is our protection and our strength.
He always helps in times of trouble.
2So we will not be afraid even if the earth shakes,
or the mountains fall into the sea,
3even if the oceans roar and foam,
or the mountains shake at the raging sea. Selah
4There is a river that brings joy to the city of God,
the holy place where God Most High lives.
5God is in that city, and so it will not be shaken.
God will help her at dawn.
6Nations tremble and kingdoms shake.
God shouts and the earth crumbles.
7The Lord All-Powerful is with us;
the God of Jacob is our defender.Selah
8Come and see what the Lord has done,
the amazing things he has done on the earth.
9He stops wars everywhere on the earth.
He breaks all bows and spears
and burns up the chariots with fire.
10God says, “Be still and know that I am God.
I will be praised in all the nations;
I will be praised throughout the earth.”
11The Lord All-Powerful is with us;
the God of Jacob is our defender.Selah
