For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.

46:1 God is our refuge and strength,

a very present help in trouble.

46:2 Therefore we won't be afraid, though the earth changes,

though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

46:3 though its waters roar and are troubled,

though the mountains tremble with their swelling.

Selah.

46:4 There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad,

the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

46:5 God is in her midst. She shall not be moved.

God will help her at dawn.

46:6 The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved.

He lifted his voice, and the earth melted.

46:7 Yahweh of Armies is with us.

The God of Jacob is our refuge.

Selah.

46:8 Come, see Yahweh's works,

what desolations he has made in the earth.

46:9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth.

He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear.

He burns the chariots in the fire.

46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God.

I will be exalted among the nations.

I will be exalted in the earth."

46:11 Yahweh of Armies is with us.

The God of Jacob is our refuge.

Selah.
