Psalm 46
God, the Protector of Zion
1 For the leader. A song of the Korahites. According to alamoth.
I
2 God is our refuge and our strength,
an ever-present help in distress.
3 Thus we do not fear, though earth be shaken
and mountains quake to the depths of the sea,
4 Though its waters rage and foam
and mountains totter at its surging.
Selah
II
5 Streams of the river gladden the city of God,
the holy dwelling of the Most High.
6 God is in its midst; it shall not be shaken;
God will help it at break of day.
7 Though nations rage and kingdoms totter,
he utters his voice and the earth melts.
8 The Lord of hosts is with us;
our stronghold is the God of Jacob.
Selah
III
9 Come and see the works of the Lord,
who has done fearsome deeds on earth;
10 Who stops wars to the ends of the earth,
breaks the bow, splinters the spear,
and burns the shields with fire;
11 “Be still and know that I am God!
I am exalted among the nations,
exalted on the earth.”
12 The Lord of hosts is with us;
our stronghold is the God of Jacob.
Selah
