Psalms 46

 

¹ God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

 

² Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

 

³ though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.

 

⁴ There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.

 

⁵ God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.

 

⁶ Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

 

⁷ The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

 

⁸ Come and see what the LORD has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth.

 

⁹ He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth.

He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;

he burns the shields with fire.

 

¹⁰ He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;

I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

 

¹¹ The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
