Psalms 46
God is our refuge and strength, a present help in time of trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, even though the earth be removed , and though the mountains be carried in the midst of the sea.
Though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling.
There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God. The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most high. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved. God shall help her just at the break of dawn.
The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved, He uttered His voice, the earth melted. The Lord of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge.
Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has made desolations in the earth. He makes war to cease to the end of the earth.
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two. He burns the chariot in the fire.
Be still, and know that I am God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
The LORD of hosts is with us; the GOD of Jacob is our refuge.
God is our refuge and strength, a tested help in times of trouble. So we will not fear even if the world blows up, and the mountains crumble into the sea, or the oceans roar; let the mountains tremble.
There is a river of joy flowing through the City of our God – the sacred home of the God above all gods. God, Himself lives in that City, therefore it stands unmoved despite the turmoil everywhere. He will not delay His help.
The nations rant and rave in anger – but when God speaks, the earth melts in submission and earthy kingdoms ruined.
The Lord of hosts is here with us, the God of Jacob will rescue us. Stand still, and know that I am God. I will be honoured by every nation in the world.
The LORD of hosts is here with us, He, the GOD of Jacob, has come to rescue us.
