Psalms 46

God Protects His People

For the director of music. By alamoth. A psalm of the sons of Korah.

1 God is our protection and our strength.
    He always helps in times of trouble.
2 So we will not be afraid even if the earth shakes,
    or the mountains fall into the sea,
3 even if the oceans roar and foam,
    or the mountains shake at the raging sea. Selah

4 There is a river that brings joy to the city of God,
    the holy place where God Most High lives.
5 God is in that city, and so it will not be shaken.
    God will help her at dawn.
6 Nations tremble and kingdoms shake.
    God shouts and the earth crumbles.

7 The Lord All-Powerful is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our defender. Selah

8 Come and see what the Lord has done,
    the amazing things he has done on the earth.
9 He stops wars everywhere on the earth.
    He breaks all bows and spears
    and burns up the chariots with fire.
10 God says, "Be still and know that I am God.
    I will be praised in all the nations;
    I will be praised throughout the earth."

11 The Lord All-Powerful is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our defender. Selah
