Psalms

46

Revised Standard Version

1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A Song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea;

3 though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult. [Selah]

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

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

6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts.

7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. [Selah]

8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, how he has wrought desolations in the earth.

9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear, he burns the chariots with fire!

10 'Be still, and know that I am God. I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth!'

11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. [Selah]
