Psalm 46
(NIV)
For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A song.1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present
help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth
give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam and the
mountains quake with their surging. Selah
4 There is a river whose streams make glad
the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall; God
will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he
lifts his voice, the earth melts.
7 The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of
Jacob is our fortress. Selah
8 Come and see the works of the LORD, the
desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear, he burns the shields 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 Almighty is with us; the God of
Jacob is our fortress. Selah |
