Psalm 46

¹ GOD is our hope and strength * a very present help in trouble.

² Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be moved * and though the hills be carried into the midst of the sea;

³ Though the waters thereof rage and swell * and though the mountains shake at the tempest of the same.

⁴ The rivers of the flood thereof shall make glad the city of God * the holy place of the tabernacle of the most Highest.

⁵ God is in the midst of her, therefore shall she not be removed * God shall help her, and that right early.

⁶ The heathen make much ado, and the kingdoms are moved * but God hath shewed his voice, and the earth shall melt away.

⁷ The Lord of hosts is with us * the God of Jacob is our refuge.

⁸ O come hither, and behold the works of the Lord * what destruction he hath brought upon the earth.

⁹ He maketh wars to cease in all the world * he breaketh the bow, and knappeth the spear in sunder, and burneth the chariots in the fire.

¹⁰ Be still then, and know that I am God * I will be exalted among the heathen, and I will be exalted in the earth.

¹¹ The Lord of hosts is with us * the God of Jacob is our refuge.
