46 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.

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.

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 is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

Dios, nuestro amparo y fortaleza

Para el director del coro. Salmo de los hijos de Coré, compuesto para Alamot[a]. Cántico.

46 Dios es nuestro refugio y fortaleza(A),
nuestro pronto auxilio[b](B) en las tribulaciones[c](C).
Por tanto, no temeremos(D) aunque la tierra sufra cambios(E),
y aunque los montes se deslicen al fondo[d] de los mares(F);
aunque bramen y se agiten[e] sus aguas(G),
aunque tiemblen los montes con creciente enojo[f]. (Selah[g])

Hay un río(H) cuyas corrientes alegran la ciudad de Dios(I),
las moradas santas del Altísimo(J).
Dios está en medio de ella(K), no será sacudida;
Dios la ayudará(L) al romper el alba[h].
Bramaron las naciones[i](M), se tambalearon[j] los reinos;
dio[k] Él su voz(N), y la tierra se derritió(O).
El Señor de los ejércitos está con nosotros(P);
nuestro baluarte es el Dios de Jacob(Q). (Selah)

Venid, contemplad las obras del Señor(R),
que ha hecho asolamientos[l] en la tierra(S);
que hace cesar las guerras hasta los confines de la tierra(T);
quiebra el arco, parte la lanza(U),
y quema los carros en el[m] fuego(V).
10 Estad quietos, y sabed que yo soy Dios(W);
exaltado seré entre las naciones[n], exaltado seré en la tierra(X).
11 El Señor de los ejércitos está con nosotros;
nuestro baluarte es el Dios de Jacob. (Selah)

Psalm 46[a]

For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. According to alamoth.[b] A song.

God is our refuge(A) and strength,(B)
    an ever-present(C) help(D) in trouble.(E)
Therefore we will not fear,(F) though the earth give way(G)
    and the mountains fall(H) into the heart of the sea,(I)
though its waters roar(J) and foam(K)
    and the mountains quake(L) with their surging.[c]

There is a river(M) whose streams(N) make glad the city of God,(O)
    the holy place where the Most High(P) dwells.(Q)
God is within her,(R) she will not fall;(S)
    God will help(T) her at break of day.
Nations(U) are in uproar,(V) kingdoms(W) fall;
    he lifts his voice,(X) the earth melts.(Y)

The Lord Almighty(Z) is with us;(AA)
    the God of Jacob(AB) is our fortress.(AC)

Come and see what the Lord has done,(AD)
    the desolations(AE) he has brought on the earth.
He makes wars(AF) cease
    to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow(AG) and shatters the spear;
    he burns the shields[d] with fire.(AH)
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;(AI)
    I will be exalted(AJ) among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 The Lord Almighty is with us;
    the God of Jacob(AK) is our fortress.(AL)
