Psalms 46

¹God is our protection and our strength.

He always helps in times of trouble.

²So we will not be afraid if the earth shakes,

or if the mountains fall into the sea.

³We will not fear even if the oceans roar and foam,

or if the mountains shake at the raging sea. Selah

⁴There is a river which brings joy to the city of God.

This is the holy place where God Most High lives.

⁵God is in that city, and so it will not be shaken.

God will help her at dawn.

⁶Nations tremble, and kingdoms shake.

God shouts, and the earth crumbles.

⁷The Lord of heaven’s armies is with us.

The God of Jacob is our protection. Selah

⁸Come and see what the Lord has done.

He has done amazing things on the earth.

⁹He stops wars everywhere on the earth.

He breaks all bows and spears

and burns up the chariots with fire.

¹⁰God says, “Be still and know that I am God.

I will be praised in all the nations.

I will be praised throughout the earth.”

¹¹The Lord of heaven’s armies is with us.

The God of Jacob is our protection. Selah
