Psalm 46

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. 

    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.

    ⁸ Come and see what the LORD has done, 
       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 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.
