  • Psalm 46

    Psalm 46

    For the music leader. Of the Korahites. According to Alamoth. A song.

    46 God is our refuge and strength,
        a help always near in times of great trouble.
    2 That’s why we won’t be afraid when the world falls apart,
        when the mountains crumble into the center of the sea,
    3     when its waters roar and rage,
        when the mountains shake because of its surging waves. Selah

    4 There is a river whose streams gladden God’s city,
        the holiest dwelling of the Most High.
    5 God is in that city. It will never crumble.
        God will help it when morning dawns.
    6 Nations roar; kingdoms crumble.
        God utters his voice; the earth melts.
    7 The Lord of heavenly forces is with us!
        The God of Jacob is our place of safety. Selah

    8 Come, see the Lord’s deeds,
        what devastation he has imposed on the earth—
    9     bringing wars to an end in every corner of the world,
        breaking the bow and shattering the spear,
            burning chariots with fire.

    10 “That’s enough! Now know that I am God!
        I am exalted among all nations; I am exalted throughout the world!”

    11 The Lord of heavenly forces is with us!
        The God of Jacob is our place of safety. Selah
