The Psalms
Psalm 46
[For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah, set to Alamoth. A Song.] God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
Though its waters roar [and] foam, Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride.[Selah].
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.
The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered; He raised His voice, the earth melted.
The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold.[Selah].
Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has wrought desolations in the earth.
He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariots with fire.
"Cease [striving] and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold.[Selah].
