The Psalm

Psalms. Chapter 46. For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas; though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. Selah. There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of the Most High. God is within her. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn. The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice and the earth melted. The LORD of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. Come, see the LORD’s works, what desolations he has made in the earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots in the fire. “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted amongst the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.” The LORD of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

For the Chief Musician
By the sons of Korah
According to Alamoth
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble
Therefore we wont be afraid though the earth changes
Though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas
Though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling
Selah
There is a river the streams of which make the city of God glad
The holy place of the tents of the Most High
God is within her
She shall not be moved
God will help her at dawn
The nations raged
The kingdoms were moved
He lifted his voice and the earth melted
The LORD of Armies is with us
The God of Jacob is our refuge
Selah
Come, see the LORDs works, what desolations he has made in the earth
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth
He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear
He burns the chariots in the fire
Be still, and know that I am God
I will be exalted amongst the nations
I will be exalted in the earth
The LORD of Armies is with us
The God of Jacob is our refuge
Selah
