Psalm 46
EasyEnglish Bible
The sons of Korah wrote this special song for the music leader.
The city of God[a]
46 God is a strong place for us,
where he will keep us safe.
He will always help us
when troubles come.
2 So even when the earth shakes,
we will not be afraid.
And when the mountains fall down
into the deep sea,
we will still not be afraid.
3 If the sea makes dangerous waves,
so that even the mountains shake,
we will never be afraid.
Selah.
4 There is a river that runs into the city of God,
and it brings God's blessing to the people there.
That is the holy place
where the Most High God lives.
5 God is in that city.
Nothing can ever destroy it.
When dawn comes, God will be there to help it.
6 Nations are shouting with anger!
Kingdoms shake and fall.
God calls in a loud voice,
and even the earth melts!
7 The Lord Almighty is there to help us.
The God of Jacob keeps us safe.
Selah.
8 Come and see the great things
that the Lord has done.
He has brought terrible things to the earth!
9 All over the world, he causes wars to finish.
He destroys the soldiers' bows and spears.
He burns their shields in a fire.
10 He says, ‘Be still and quiet!
Understand that I am God.
I rule as king over the nations.
All the world will say that I am great.’
11 The Lord Almighty is there to help us.
The God of Jacob keeps us safe.
Selah.

Salmos 46
Biblia del Jubileo
Al Vencedor: a los hijos de Coré: Salmo sobre Alamot.
1 Dios es nuestro amparo y fortaleza, nuestro pronto auxilio en las tribulaciones.
2 Por tanto no temeremos aunque la tierra sea removida; aunque se traspasen los montes al corazón del mar.
3 Bramarán, se turbarán sus aguas; temblarán los montes a causa de su braveza. (Selah.)
4 Del Río sus conductos alegrarán la ciudad de Dios, el santuario de las tiendas del Altísimo.
5 Dios está en medio de ella; no será conmovida; Dios la ayudará al clarear la mañana.
6 ¶ Bramaron los gentiles, titubearon los reinos; dio él su voz, se derritió la tierra.
7 El SEÑOR de los ejércitos es con nosotros; nuestro refugio es el Dios de Jacob. (Selah.)
8 Venid, ved las obras del SEÑOR, que ha puesto asolamientos en la tierra.
9 Que hace cesar las guerras hasta los fines de la tierra; que quiebra el arco, corta la lanza, y quema los carros en el fuego.
10 Cesad, y conoced que yo soy Dios; me ensalzaré en los gentiles, me ensalzaré en la tierra.
11 El SEÑOR de los ejércitos es con nosotros; nuestro refugio es el Dios de Jacob. (Selah.)
Psalm 46
King James Version
46 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
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.
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.
