46: 1 God the Refuge of his People. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah; set to Alamoth. A Song. God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.
46: 2 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, And though the mountains be shaken into the heart of the seas;
46: 3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, Though the mountains tremble with the 271swelling thereof. [Selah
271Or, pride thereof.

46: 4 There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
46: 5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God will help her, at the dawn of morning.
46: 6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved: He uttered his voice, the earth melted,
46: 7 Jehovah of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our 272refuge. [Selah
272Or, high tower. And in vs. 11.

46: 8 Come, behold the works of Jehovah, 273What desolations he hath made in the earth.
273Or, Who hath made desolations in the earth.

46: 9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariots in the fire.
46: 10 274Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
274Or, Let be still,

46: 11 Jehovah of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. [Selah
