Psalm 46

For the choir director. Of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A Song.

God is our refuge and strength,

A very present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change

And though the mountains shake into the heart of the sea;

Though its waters roar and foam,

Though the mountains quake at its lofty pride. Selah.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,

The holy dwelling places of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her, she will not be shaken;

God will help her when morning dawns.

The nations roar, the kingdoms shake;

He gives His voice, the earth melts.

Yahweh of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.

Come, behold the works of Yahweh,

Who has appointed desolations in the earth.

He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;

He breaks the bow and cuts up the spear;

He burns the chariots with fire.

“Cease striving and know that I am God;

I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Yahweh of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.
