Psalms 46

1God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble.

2That is why we are not afraid even when the earth quakes or the mountains topple into the depths of the sea.

3Water roars and foams, and mountains shake at the surging waves. Selah

4There is a river whose streams bring joy to the city of God, the holy place where the Most High lives.

5God is in that city. It cannot fall. God will help it at the break of dawn.

6Nations are in turmoil, and kingdoms topple. The earth melts at the sound of ⌞God’s⌟ voice.

7The Lord of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah

8Come, see the works of the Lord, the devastation he has brought to the earth.

9He puts an end to wars all over the earth. He breaks an archer’s bow. He cuts spears in two. He burns chariots.

10Let go ⌞of your concerns⌟! Then you will know that I am God. I rule the nations. I rule the earth.

11The Lord of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah
