PSALM 46

God is our refuge and strength-He dwells in his city, doeth marvelous things, and saith: Be still and know that I am God.

TO THE CHIEF MUSICIAN FOR THE SONS OF KORAH, A SONG UPON ALAMOTH.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  9 He 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.

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

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