Psalms 46

1 God is our harbour and our strength, a very present help in trouble.

1 God is our refuge and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.

1God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

2For this cause we will have no fear, even though the earth is changed, and though the mountains are moved in the heart of the sea;

2 Therefore will we not fear though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the heart of the seas;

2Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, And though the mountains be shaken into the heart of the seas;

2Therefore we fear not in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.

3Though its waters are sounding and troubled, and though the mountains are shaking with their violent motion. (Selah.)

3 Though the waters thereof roar [and] foam, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

3Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, Though the mountains tremble with the swelling thereof. [Selah

3Roar--troubled are its waters, Mountains they shake in its pride. Selah.

4There is a river whose streams make glad the resting-place of God, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

4 There is a river the streams whereof make glad the city ofGod, the sanctuary of the habitations of the Most High.

4There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.

4A river--its rivulets rejoice the city of God, Thy holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.

5God <FI>is<Fi> in her midst--she is not moved, God doth help her at the turn of the morn!

6The nations were angry, the kingdoms were moved; at the sound of his voice the earth became like wax.

6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

6The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved: He uttered his voice, the earth melted.

6Troubled have been nations, Moved have been kingdoms, He hath given forth with His voice, earth melteth.
