Psalm 46

¹God is our refuge and strength,

a very present help in trouble.

²Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes,

though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

³though its waters roar and are troubled,

though the mountains tremble with their swelling.

⁴There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad,

the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

⁵God is within her. She shall not be moved.

God will help her at dawn.

⁶The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved.

He lifted his voice and the earth melted.

⁷The LORD of Armies is with us.

The God of Jacob is our refuge.

⁸Come, see the LORD’s works,

what desolations he has made in the earth.

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

He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear.

He burns the chariots in the fire.

¹⁰“Be still, and know that I am God.

I will be exalted amongst the nations.

I will be exalted in the earth.”

¹¹The LORD of Armies is with us.

The God of Jacob is our refuge.
