Psalm 46
God Our Refuge
For the choir director. A song of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. x
1 God is our refuge and strength,
a helper who is always found
in times of trouble. y
2 Therefore we will not be afraid,
though the earth trembles
and the mountains topple
into the depths of the seas, z
3 though its water roars and foams
and the mountains quake with its turmoil. a Selah
its streams delight the city of God,
the holy dwelling place of the Most High. b
5 God is within her; she will not be toppled.
God will help her when the morning dawns. c
6 Nations rage, kingdoms topple;
the earth melts when he lifts his voice. d
7 The LORD of Armies is with us;
the God of Jacob is our stronghold. e Selah
8 Come, see the works of the LORD,
who brings devastation on the earth. f
9 He makes wars cease throughout the earth.
He shatters bows and cuts spears to pieces;
he sets wagons ablaze. g
10 “Stop your fighting, and know that I am God,
exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth.” h
11 The LORD of Armies is with us;
the God of Jacob is our stronghold. i Selah
