Psalms 46

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

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

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.

1Unto the end, for the sons of Core.

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

2 Therefore will we not fear though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6 The 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.

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

7Jehovah of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. [Selah

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

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

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

8Come, behold the works of Jehovah, What desolations he hath made in the earth.

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

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

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

9He maketh 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

11Jehovah of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. [Selah

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

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