Psalm 46
God, the Refuge of His People.
For the music director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah, set to Alamoth. A Song.
1God is our refuge and strength,
A very ready help in trouble.
2Therefore we won’t fear, though the earth shakes
And the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
3Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride.
Selah
4There is a river whose streams make the city of God happy,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
5God is in the midst of her, she won’t be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
6The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;
He raised His voice, the earth quaked.
7The Lord of armies is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
Selah
8Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has inflicted horrific events on the earth.
9He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.
10“Stop striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted on the earth.”
11The Lord of armies is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
