PSALM 46[O] God, the Protector of Zion 46
1For the leader. A song of the Korahites. According to alamoth.[P]
I
2God is our refuge and our strength,
an ever–present help in distress.
3[Q]Thus we do not fear, though earth be shaken
and mountains quake to the depths of the sea,
4Though its waters rage and foam
and mountains totter at its surging.Selah
II
5[R]Streams of the river gladden the city of God,
the holy dwelling of the Most High.
6God is in its midst; it shall not be shaken;
God will help it at break of day.
7Though nations rage and kingdoms totter,
he utters his voice and the earth melts.
8[S]The LORD of hosts is with us;
our stronghold is the God of Jacob.Selah
III
9Come and see the works of the LORD,
who has done fearsome deeds on earth;
10Who stops wars to the ends of the earth,
breaks the bow, splinters the spear,
and burns the shields with fire;
11“Be still and know that I am God!
I am exalted among the nations,
exalted on the earth.”
12The LORD of hosts is with us;
our stronghold is the God of Jacob.Selah
