PSALM 46 [†] God is our  c refuge and strength,

a very  d present [2] help in  e trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear  f though the earth gives way,

though the mountains be moved into  g the heart of the sea,

3 though  h its waters roar and foam,

though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah

4 There is  i a river whose streams make glad  j the city of God,

the holy  k habitation of the Most High.

5[^]  l God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;

God will help her when morning dawns.

6  m The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;

he  n utters his voice, the earth  o melts.

7  p The LORD of hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

8[†]  q Come, behold the works of the LORD,

how he has brought desolations on the earth.

9  r He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;

he  s breaks the bow and shatters the spear;

 t he burns the chariots with fire.

10  u “Be still, and know that I am God.

 v I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth!”

11  p The LORD of hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
