Psalm 46

God Is Our Fortress 

To the choirmaster. Of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A Song. 

46 God is our refuge and strength, 

        a very present help in trouble. 

2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, 

       though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, 

3 though its waters roar and foam, 

       though the mountains tremble at its swelling.    Selah 

4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, 

      the holy habitation of the Most High. 

5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; 

      God will help her when morning dawns. 

6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; 

      he utters his voice, the earth melts. 

7 The Lord of hosts is with us; 

      the God of Jacob is our fortress.         Selah 

8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, 

      how he has brought desolations on the earth. 

9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; 

      he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; 

      he burns the chariots 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 of hosts is with us; 

      the God of Jacob is our fortress.      Selah
