Psalm

46 God* is for us a refuge and strength,+

A help that is readily to be found during distresses.+

 2 That is why we shall not fear, though the earth undergo change+

And though the mountains totter into the heart of the vast sea;+

 3 Though its waters be boisterous, foam over,+

Though the mountains rock at its uproar.+ Seʹlah.

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

The holiest grand tabernacle* of the Most High.+

 5 God is in the midst of [the city];*+ it will not be made to totter.+

God will help it at the appearance of morning.+

 6 The nations became boisterous,+ the kingdoms tottered;

He sounded* with his voice, the earth proceeded to melt.+

 7 Jehovah* of armies is with us;+

The God* of Jacob is a secure height for us.+ Seʹlah.

 8 Come, YOU people, behold the activities of Jehovah,*+

How he has set astonishing events on the earth.+

 9 He is making wars to cease to the extremity* of the earth.+

The bow he breaks apart and does cut the spear in pieces;+

The wagons* he burns in the fire.+

10 “Give in, YOU people, and know that I am God.+

I will be exalted among the nations,+

I will be exalted in the earth.”+

11 Jehovah* of armies is with us;+

The God of Jacob is a secure height for us.+ Seʹlah.
