Psalm 46

For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A song. ^[a]

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

 ² Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
       and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

 ³ though its waters roar and foam
       and the mountains quake with their surging.
       Selah

 ⁴ There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
       the holy place where the Most High dwells.

 ⁵ God is within her, she will not fall;
       God will help her at break of day.

 ⁶ Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
       he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

 ⁷ The LORD Almighty is with us;
       the God of Jacob is our fortress.
       Selah

 ⁸ Come and see the works of the LORD,
       the desolations he has brought on the earth.

 ⁹ He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth;
       he breaks the bow and shatters the spear,
       he burns the shields ^[b] 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 Almighty is with us;
       the God of Jacob is our fortress.
       Selah
