Psalms

46 God is to us refuge and strength,

a most accessible help in distress.

2 Therefore we will not be afraid when earth changes

and mountains rock in the heart of the sea,

3 Its water roars and foams,

mountains shake with its fury. (Selah)

4 A river’s channels gladden the city of God,

holiest of dwelling-places of the Most High.

5 She has God within her; she will not rock;

God will help her before the night is over.

6 Nations were in uproar, kingdoms rocked;

he has sounded his voice, earth goes back and forth;

7 Jehovah of Armies is with us;

we have Jacob’s God as our fastness. (Selah)

8 Come, view Jehovah’s doings,

the awful work he has wrought on earth,

9 Silencing wars to the earth’s end,

breaking bows and unheading spears,

burning up carriages:

10 “Forbear, and know that I am God;

I am seated on high among the nations,

on high in the earth.”

11 Jehovah of Armies is with us;

we have Jacob’s God as our fastness. (Selah)
