Psalms 46

1Unto the end, for the sons of Core.

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

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

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

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

3Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

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

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

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

5God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

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

6The heathen 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.

7The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

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

8Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.

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

9He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot 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.

10Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
