Psalm 46

God Is Our Refuge and Strength

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.
2
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains shake into the heart of the sea;
3
Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its lofty pride. Selah.

4
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
5
God is in the midst of her, she will not be shaken;
God will help her when morning dawns.
6
The nations roar, the kingdoms shake;
He gives His voice, the earth melts.
7
Yahweh of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.

8
Come, behold the works of Yahweh,
Who has appointed desolations in the earth.
9
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.
10
“Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
11
Yahweh of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.
