Psalms Chapter 46
For the Choir Director
A Psalm of the Sons of Korah
Set to Alamoth. A Song
1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help when trouble comes.
2 So we won’t be afraid
though the ground tremors,
though the mountains cascade into the sea,
3though its water roars and foams,
though the ground quakes at its tsunamis.
4 There’s a river of joy that flows into the city of God,
the sacred place where the Most High lives.
5 God is there; it’s unmovable;
from the break of day, he protects it.
6 When nations rage and kingdoms totter,
his voice thunders and earth melts away.
7 The LORD of Hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge. Ps 46:1-7
8 Come and look at what the LORD does:
he brings destruction on the earth;
9he stops wars all over the world;
he breaks bows and snaps spears in two;
he burns chariots.
10 “So be still and know that I’m God;
exalted in every nation,
honored all over the world.”
11 The LORD of Hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.
Ps 46:8-11
