Psalms 46

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

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;

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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
