Psalms 46

For the choir director. Of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A song.

1God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in troubles.

2Therefore we will not fear though the earth changes, though the mountains slip into the heart of the seas.

3Its waters roar and foam; the mountains quake at its swelling. Selah

4A river—its streams make glad the city of God, the holy dwelling places of the Most High.

5God is within her; she will not be moved. God will help her when morning dawns.

6Nations raged, kingdoms tottered; he raised his voice, the earth melted.

7Yahweh of Armies is with us; the God of Jacob is a stronghold for us. Selah

8Come, see the works of Yahweh, who has made desolations on the earth.

9He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and cuts the spear in pieces; he burns the wagons with fire.

10Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted on earth.

11Yahweh of Armies is with us; the God of Jacob is a stronghold for us. Selah
