1Dem Chorleiter. Von den Söhnen Korachs. Nach Alamoth[1]. Ein Lied. (1Chr 15,20; Ps 42,1)2Gott ist uns Zuflucht und Stärke, als Beistand in Nöten reichlich gefunden. (Ps 28,7; Ps 37,39; Ps 59,17; Ps 62,8; Ps 91,2; Ps 142,6)3Darum fürchten wir uns nicht, wenn auch die Erde erbebt und die Berge mitten ins Meer wanken. (Jes 54,10)4Mögen seine Wasser tosen und schäumen, die Berge erbeben durch sein Aufbäumen! // (Ps 93,3; Jes 8,7)5Des Stromes Läufe erfreuen die Stadt Gottes, die heiligste der Wohnungen des Höchsten[2]. (Offb 22,1)6Gott ist in ihrer Mitte, sie wird nicht wanken; Gott wird ihr helfen früh am Morgen. (Ps 125,1; Hes 48,35; Offb 22,3)7Nationen tobten, Königreiche wankten. Er ließ seine Stimme erschallen: die Erde zerschmolz. (Ps 2,1)8Der HERR der Heerscharen ist mit uns, eine Festung ist uns der Gott Jakobs. // (5Mo 20,1; Ps 59,10; Ps 146,5; Jes 7,14; Jes 8,10)9Kommt, schaut die Großtaten des HERRN, der Entsetzen verbreitet auf Erden! (Ps 66,5; Jes 10,23)10Der Kriege beschwichtigt bis ans Ende der Erde, Bogen zerbricht und Speere zerschlägt, Wagen mit Feuer verbrennt. (Jos 11,9; Ps 37,15; Mi 4,3)11Lasst ab und erkennt, dass ich Gott bin; ich werde erhöht sein unter den Nationen, erhöht auf der Erde. (2Chr 20,6)12Der HERR der Heerscharen ist mit uns, eine Festung ist uns der Gott Jakobs. // (Ps 146,5)
For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. According to alamoth. A song.
1God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.[1]2Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,3though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.[2]4There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.5God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.6Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.7The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.8Come and see what the Lord has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth.9He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields[3] with fire.10He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.’11The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

1God is our place of safety. He gives us strength. He is always there to help us in times of trouble.2The earth may fall apart. The mountains may fall into the middle of the sea. But we will not be afraid.3The waters of the sea may roar and foam. The mountains may shake when the waters rise. But we will not be afraid.4God’s blessings are like a river. They fill the city of God with joy. That city is the holy place where the Most High God lives.5Because God is there, the city will not fall. God will help it at the beginning of the day.6Nations are in disorder. Kingdoms fall. God speaks, and the people of the earth melt in fear.7The LORD who rules over all is with us. The God of Jacob is like a fort to us.8Come and see what the LORD has done. See the places he has destroyed on the earth.9He makes wars stop from one end of the earth to the other. He breaks every bow. He snaps every spear. He burns every shield with fire.10He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God. I will be honoured among the nations. I will be honoured in the earth.’11The LORD who rules over all is with us. The God of Jacob is like a fort to us.
Psalm 46
King James Version
1To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.2Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;3Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.4There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.5God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.6The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.7The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.8Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.9He 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.10Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.11The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
