Psalms 46
God the Refuge of His People.
For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah, [a]set to Alamoth. A Song.
1 God is our (a)refuge and strength,
[b]A very (b)present help (c)in [c]trouble.
2 Therefore we will (d)not fear, though (e)the earth should change
And though (f)the mountains slip into the heart of the [d]sea;
3 Though its (g)waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. [e]Selah.
4 There is a (h)river whose streams make glad the (i)city of God,
The holy (j)dwelling places of the Most High.
5 God is (k)in the midst of her, she will not be moved;
God will (l)help her [f]when morning dawns.
6 The [g]nations (m)made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;
He [h](n)raised His voice, the earth (o)melted.
7 The Lord of hosts (p)is with us;
The God of Jacob is (q)our stronghold. Selah.
8 Come, (r)behold the works of the Lord,
[i]Who has wrought (s)desolations in the earth.
9 He (t)makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He (u)breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He (v)burns the chariots with fire.
10 "[j]Cease striving and (w)know that I am God;
I will be (x)exalted among the [k]nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
11 The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.
