Psalm 46

¹ God is our refuge, strength, and help

in troubles very near.

² Therefore we will not be afraid,

though th’ earth removed were,

though mountains move to midst of seas.

³ Though waters roaring make

and troubl’d be, at whose swellings

although the mountains shake. Selah.

⁴ There is a river, streams whereof

shall rejoice God’s city,

the holy place the tent wherein

abideth the most high.

⁵ God is within the midst of her;

moved she shall not be:

God shall be unto her an help,

in the morning early.

⁶ The nations made tumultuous noise,

the kingdoms moved were:

he did give forth his thund’ring voice,

the earth did melt with fear.

⁷ The God of armies is with us;

th’ eternal Jehovah

the God of Jacob is for us

a refuge high. Selah.

⁸ O come ye forth behold the works

which Jehovah hath wrought,

the fearful desolations

which on the earth he brought.

⁹ Unto the utmost ends of th’ earth

wars into peace he turns;

the spear he cuts, the bow he breaks;

in fire the chariots burns.

¹⁰ Be still, and know that I am God:

exalted be will I

among the heathen, through the earth

I’ll be exalted high.

¹¹ The God of armies is with us,

th’ eternal Jehovah;

the God of Jacob is for us

a refuge high. Selah.
