# Psalms 46

*God the refuge of his people. To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth.*

**1** God is our refuge and strength, a present help in trouble.
**2** Therefore we will not fear., though the earth shall be removed, and though the mountains shall be carried into the midst of the sea;
**3** And the waters thereof roar, being troubled, and the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.
**4** Yet there shall be a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy of the tabernacle of the Most High.
**5** For Zion shall come, and God shall be in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God shall help her right early.
**6** The heathen shall be enraged, and their kingdoms shall be moved, and the Lord shall utter his voice, and the earth shall be melted;
**7** The Lord of hosts who shall be with us; the God of Jacob our refuge. Selah.
**8** Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he shall make in the earth in the latter days.
**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 chariot in the fire, and sayest unto the nations,
**10** Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
**11** The Lord of hosts shall be with us; the God of Jacob our refuge. Selah.
