Psalms 46

1For the leader. Of the Korahites; alamoth. Meaning of Heb. uncertain. A song.

2God is our refuge and stronghold,a help in trouble, very near.

3Therefore we are not afraidthough the earth reels,though mountains topple into the sea—

4its waters rage and foam;in its swell mountains quake. Selah.

5There is a river whose streams gladden God’s city,the holy dwelling-place of the Most High.

6God is in its midst, it will not be toppled;by daybreak God will come to its aid.

7Nations rage, kingdoms topple;at the sound of God’s thunder the earth dissolves.

8GOD of hosts is with us;the God of Jacob is our haven. Selah.

9Come and see what GOD has done,how devastation has been wrought on the earth.

10[God] puts a stop to wars throughout the earth,breaking the bow, snapping the spear,consigning wagons to the flames.

11“Desist! Realize that I am God!I dominate the nations;I dominate the earth.”

12GOD of hosts is with us;the God of Jacob is our haven. Selah.
