PSALM 46

¹For the lead player, for the Korahites, on the alamoth a song.

    ²God is a shelter and strength for us,

          a help in straits, readily found.

    ³Therefore we fear not when the earth breaks apart,

          when mountains collapse in the heart of the seas.

    ⁴Its waters roar and roil,

          mountains heave in its surge.

    ⁵A stream, its rivulets gladden God’s town,

          the holy dwelling of Elyon.

    ⁶God in its midst, it will not collapse.

          God helps it as morning breaks.

    ⁷Nations roar and kingdoms collapse.

          He sends forth His voice and earth melts.

    ⁸The LORD of Armies is with us,

          a fortress for us, Jacob’s God.

    ⁹Go, behold the acts of the LORD,

          Who made desolations on earth,

    ¹⁰caused wars to cease to the end of the earth.

          The bow He has broken and splintered the spear,

              and chariots burned in fire.

    ¹¹“Let go, and know that I am God.

          I loom among nations, I loom upon earth.”

    ¹²The LORD of Armies is with us,

          a fortress for us, Jacob’s God.
