Psalm 46

Complete Jewish Bible

46 ⁽⁰⁾For the leader. By the descendants of Korach. On ‘alamot [high-pitched musical instruments?]. A song:

²⁽¹⁾God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
³⁽²⁾Therefore we are unafraid,
even if the earth gives way,
even if the mountains tumble
into the depths of the sea,
⁴⁽³⁾even if its waters rage and foam,
and mountains shake at its turbulence. (Selah)

⁵⁽⁴⁾There is a river whose streams
gladden the city of God,
the holy habitation of ‘Elyon —
⁶⁽⁵⁾God is in the city.
It will not be moved —
when daybreak comes, God will help it.
⁷⁽⁶⁾Nations were in turmoil,
kingdoms were moved;
his voice thundered forth,
and the earth melted away.

⁸⁽⁷⁾Adonai-Tzva’ot is with us,
our fortress, the God of Ya‘akov. (Selah)
⁹⁽⁸⁾Come and see the works of Adonai,
the astounding deeds he has done on the earth.
¹⁰⁽⁹⁾To the ends of the earth he makes wars cease —
he breaks the bow, snaps the spear,
burns the shields in the fire.
¹¹⁽¹⁰⁾“Desist, and learn that I am God,
supreme over the nations,
supreme over the earth.”
