Psalms 46

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

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

1To the Overseer. --By sons of Korah. `For the Virgins.' --A song. God <FI>is<Fi> to us a refuge and strength, A help in adversities found most surely.

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

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;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5God has taken his place in her; she will not be moved: he will come to her help at the dawn of morning.

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

6The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

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

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

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

7The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah.)

7Jehovah of Hosts <FI>is<Fi> with us, A tower for us <FI>is<Fi> the God of Jacob. Selah.

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

8Come, see the works of the Lord, the destruction which he has made in the earth.

8Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done astonishing things in the earth,

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.

9He puts an end to wars over all the earth; by him the bow is broken, and the spear cut in two, and the carriage burned in the fire.

9Causing wars to cease, Unto the end of the earth, the bow he shivereth, And the spear He hath cut asunder, Chariots he doth burn with fire.

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

10Be at peace in the knowledge that I am God: I will be lifted up among the nations, I will be honoured through all the earth.

10Desist, and know that I <FI>am<Fi> God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.

11The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

11The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah.)

11Jehovah of hosts <FI>is<Fi> with us, A tower for us <FI>is<Fi> the God of Jacob! Selah.
