Psalms 46

   |   

God Is Our Fortress

To the choirmaster. Of (a)the Sons of Korah. According to (b)Alamoth.[a] A Song.

1 God is our (c)refuge and strength,
    a very (d)present[b] 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 (w)The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
