PSALM 46
God’s Defense of His City and People
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A Song.
46
God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
2
Therefore we will not fear though the earth should change,
though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea;
3
though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble with its tumult.Selah
4
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy habitation of the Most High.
5
God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;
God will help her right early.
6
The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
he utters his voice, the earth melts.
7
The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
8
Come, behold the works of the Lord,
how he has wrought desolations in the earth.
9
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear,
he burns the chariots with fire!
10
“Be still, and know that I am God.
I am exalted among the nations,
I am exalted in the earth!”
11
The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
