Psalms 46

  1. 1

    For the music director, by the Korahites; according to the alamoth style; a song. God is our strong refuge; he is truly our helper in times of trouble.

  2. 2

    For this reason we do not fear when the earth shakes, and the mountains tumble into the depths of the sea,

  3. 3

    when its waves crash and foam, and the mountains shake before the surging sea. (Selah)

  4. 4

    The river’s channels bring joy to the city of God, the special, holy dwelling place of the Most High.

  5. 5

    God lives within it, it cannot be moved. God rescues it at the break of dawn.

  6. 6

    Nations are in uproar, kingdoms are overthrown. God gives a shout, the earth dissolves.

  7. 7

    The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is on our side. The God of Jacob is our stronghold. (Selah)

  8. 8

    Come, Witness the exploits of the Lord, who brings devastation to the earth.

  9. 9

    He brings an end to wars throughout the earth. He shatters the bow and breaks the spear; he burns the shields with fire.

  10. 10

    He says, “Stop your striving and recognize that I am God. I will be exalted over the nations! I will be exalted over the earth!”

  11. 11

    The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is on our side! The God of Jacob is our stronghold! (Selah)
