God the Refuge of His People.

Psa 46:1

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah, set to soprano voices. A Song.

God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable],

A very present and well-proved help in trouble.

Psa 46:2

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change

And though the mountains be shaken and slip into the heart of the seas,

Psa 46:3

Though its waters roar and foam,

Though the mountains tremble at its roaring. Selah.

Psa 46:4

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

The holy dwelling places of the Most High.

Psa 46:5

God is in the midst of her [His city], she will not be moved;

God will help her when the morning dawns.

Psa 46:6

The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered and were moved;

He raised His voice, the earth melted.

Psa 46:7

The LORD of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our stronghold [our refuge, our high tower]. Selah.

Psa 46:8

Come, behold the works of the LORD,

Who has brought desolations and wonders on the earth.

Psa 46:9

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

He breaks the bow into pieces and snaps the spear in two;

He burns the chariots with fire.

Psa 46:10

“Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God.

I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth.”

Psa 46:11

The LORD of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our stronghold [our refuge, our high tower]. Selah.
