1God, you’re such a safe and powerful place to find refuge!
You’re a proven help in time of trouble—
more than enough and always available whenever I need you.
2So we will never fear
even if every structure of support were to crumble away.
We will not fear even when the earth quakes and shakes,
moving mountains and casting them into the sea.
3For the raging roar of stormy winds and crashing waves
cannot erode our faith in you.
4God has a constantly flowing river whose sparkling streams
bring joy and delight to his people.
His river flows right through the city of God Most High,
into his holy dwelling places.
5God is in the midst of his city, secure and never shaken.[#46:5 This is a reference to Jerusalem, but today God calls his church a “city” on a hill.]
At daybreak his help will be seen with the appearing of the dawn.
6When the nations are in uproar with their tottering kingdoms,
God simply raises his voice,
and the earth begins to disintegrate before him.
7Here he comes!
The Commander!
The mighty Lord of Angel Armies is on our side!
The God of Jacob fights for us!
8-9Everyone look!
Come and see the breathtaking wonders of our God.
For he brings both ruin and revival .
He’s the one who makes conflicts end
throughout the earth,
breaking and burning every weapon of war.
10Surrender your anxiety.[#46:10 Or “Let go!” The Septuagint reads “relax.”]
Be still and realize that I am God.
I am God above all the nations,
and I am exalted throughout the whole earth.
11Here he stands!
The Commander!
The mighty Lord of Angel Armies is on our side!
The God of Jacob fights for us!
