Psalm 46

God Is Our Refuge and Strength

For the choir director. Of the sons of Korah. ▼
▼Possibly For Soprano Voices
According to Alamoth. A Song.

1God is our refuge and strength,
▼
▼ Or Abundantly available for help
A very present help in ▼
▼Or tight places
trouble.
 2Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains shake into the heart of the ▼
▼Lit seas
sea;
 3Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its lofty pride. ▼
▼Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude
Selah.
 4There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
 5God is in the midst of her, she will not be shaken;
God will help her ▼
▼Lit at the turning of the morning
when morning dawns.
 6The ▼
▼Or Gentiles
nations roar, the kingdoms shake;
He gives His voice, the earth melts.
 7Yahweh of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.
 8Come, behold the works of Yahweh,
▼
▼ Or Which He has wrought as desolations
Who has appointed desolations in the earth.
 9He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts up the spear;
He burns the chariots with fire.
 10“ ▼
▼Or Let go, Relax
Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the ▼
▼Or Gentiles
nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
 11Yahweh of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.
