Psalms 46

Psalms 46

1God is our refuge and strength,

a very present help in trouble.

2Therefore we will not fear though the earth should change,

though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea;

3though its waters roar and foam,

though the mountains tremble with its tumult. Selah

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

the holy habitation of the Most High.

5God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;

God will help her right early.

6The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;

he utters his voice, the earth melts.

7The Lord of hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

8Come, behold the works of the Lord ,

how he has wrought desolations in the earth.

9He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;

he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear,

he burns the chariots with fire!

10“Be still, and know that I am God.

I am exalted among the nations,

I am exalted in the earth!”

11The Lord of hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
