Psalms 46

God is our refuge and strength,

    a very present help in trouble.

2 

Therefore we will not fear though the earth give way,

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

3 

though its waters roar and foam,

    though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah

4 

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

    the holy habitation of the Most High.

5 

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;

    God will help her when morning dawns.

6 

The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;

    he utters his voice, the earth melts.

7 

The Lord of hosts is with us;

    the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

8 

Come, behold the works of the Lord,

    how he has brought desolations on the earth.

9 

He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;

    he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;

    he burns the chariots with fire.

10 

“Be still, and know that I am God.

    I will be exalted among the nations,

    I will be exalted in the earth!”

11 

The Lord of hosts is with us;

    the God of Jacob is our fortress.
