Psalm 46

God Is Our Refuge and Strength

1God is our refuge and strength,

a very present help in trouble.

2Therefore will not we fear,

though the earth be removed,

and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

3though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,

though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

4There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God,

the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.

5God is in the midst of her;

she shall not be moved:

God shall help her, and that right early.

6The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved:

he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

7The Lord of hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

8Come, behold the works of the Lord ,

what desolations he hath made in the earth.

9He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth;

he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder;

he burneth the chariot in the fire.

10Be still, and know that I am God:

I will be exalted among the heathen,

I will be exalted in the earth.

11The Lord of hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
