Psalms 46

1 For the music director; by the Korahites; according to the alamoth style; a song. God is our strong refuge; he is truly our helper in times of trouble.

2 For this reason we do not fear when the earth shakes, and the mountains tumble into the depths of the sea,

3 when its waves crash and foam, and the mountains shake before the surging sea.(Selah)

4 The river’s channels bring joy to the city of God, the special, holy dwelling place of the Most High.

5 God lives within it, it cannot be moved. God rescues it at the break of dawn.

6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms are overthrown. God gives a shout, the earth dissolves.

7 The LORD of Heaven’s Armies is on our side! The God of Jacob is our protector!(Selah)

8 Come! Witness the exploits of the LORD, who brings devastation to the earth!

9 He brings an end to wars throughout the earth; he shatters the bow and breaks the spear; he burns the shields with fire.

10 He says,“Stop your striving and recognize that I am God! I will be exalted over the nations! I will be exalted over the earth!”

11 The LORD of Heaven’s Armies is on our side! The God of Jacob is our protector!(Selah)
