Psalms 46

¹God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

²Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

³though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.

⁴There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.

⁵God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.

⁶Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

⁷The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

⁸Come and see what the Lord has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth.

⁹He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire.

¹⁰He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

¹¹The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
