Psalms 46

Psalm 46

God Our Refuge

For the choir director. A song of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.

¹God is our refuge and strength, a helper who is always found in times of trouble.²

³Therefore we will not be afraid, though the earth trembles and the mountains topple into the depths of the seas,⁴

⁵though its water roars and foams and the mountains quake with its turmoil.Selah⁶

⁷There is a river — its streams delight the city of God, the holy dwelling place of the Most High.⁸

⁹God is within her; she will not be toppled. God will help her when the morning dawns.¹⁰

¹¹Nations rage, kingdoms topple; the earth melts when he lifts his voice.¹²

¹³The Lord of Armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold.Selah¹⁴

¹⁵Come, see the works of the Lord, who brings devastation on the earth.¹⁶

¹⁷He makes wars cease throughout the earth. He shatters bows and cuts spears to pieces; he sets wagons ablaze.¹⁸

¹⁹“Stop fighting, and know that I am God, exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth.”²⁰

²¹The Lord of Armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold.Selah²²
