Psalms 46

1Unto the end, for the sons of Core.

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

2O clap your hands, all ye nations: shout unto God with the voice of joy,

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

3For the Lord is high, terrible: a great king over all the earth.

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

4He hath subdued the people under us; and the nations under our feet.

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

5He hath chosen for us his inheritance, the beauty of Jacob which he hath loved.

5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved:God shall help her at the dawn of the morning.

6God is ascended with jubilee, and the Lord with the sound of trumpet.

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

7Sing praises to our God, sing ye: sing praises to our king, sing ye.

7 Jehovah of hosts is with us; theGod of Jacob is our high fortress. Selah.

8For God is the king of all the earth: sing ye wisely.

8 Come, behold the works of Jehovah, what desolations he hath made in the earth:

9God shall reign over the nations: God sitteth on his holy throne.

9 He hath made wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariots in the fire.

10The princes of the people are gathered together, with the God of Abraham: for the strong gods of the earth are exceedingly exalted.

10 Be still, and know that I amGod: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
