Psalm 46
The King's Reign
For the choir director. By the Sons of Korah.
According to
alamoth[]. A song.
The Earth Shaken
1God is our refuge and strength,
a helper who can always be found in times of trouble.
2That is why we will not fear when the earth dissolves
and when the mountains tumble into the heart of the sea.
3Its waters roar and foam.
The mountains quake when it rises. Interlude
A City Unshaken
4There is a river—its streams bring joy to the city of God,
to the holy dwelling of the Most High.
5God is in her. She will not fall.
God will help her at daybreak.
6Nations are in turmoil. Kingdoms fall.
God raises his voice. The earth melts.
7The Lord of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is a fortress for us. Interlude
8Come, look at the works of the Lord.
What a wasteland he has made of the earth!
9He makes wars cease to the end of the earth.
He shatters the bow. He cuts up the spear.
He burns the carts[] with fire. 10“Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations.
I will be exalted on the earth.”
11The Lord of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is a fortress for us. Interlude
