Psalm 46

English Standard Version

God Is Our Fortress

1 To the choirmaster. Of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.[1] A Song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present[2] help in trouble. (De 4:7; 1Ch 15:20; Ps 9:9; Ps 14:6; Ps 42:1; Ps 145:18) 2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, (Ps 18:7; Eze 27:26) 3 though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. (Ps 93:3; Jer 5:22) 4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. (Ps 36:8; Ps 43:3; Ps 48:1; Ps 65:9; Ps 84:1; Ps 87:3; Isa 8:6; Isa 33:21; Isa 60:14; Re 22:1) 5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. (Le 26:12; De 23:14; Isa 12:6; Eze 43:7; Eze 43:9; Ho 11:9; Joe 2:27; Zep 3:15; Zec 2:5; Zec 2:10; Zec 8:3) 6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. (Ex 15:15; Jos 2:9; Jos 2:24; Ps 2:1; Ps 18:13; Ps 68:33; Ps 76:8; Jer 25:30; Joe 2:11; Joe 3:16; Am 1:2; Am 9:5) 7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. (Nu 14:9; 2Ch 13:12; 2Ch 20:17; Ps 46:11) 8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, how he has brought desolations on the earth. (Ps 66:5) 9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire. (1Sa 2:4; Ps 76:3; Isa 2:4; Eze 39:9; Mic 4:3) 10 “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” (Ex 14:13; Isa 2:11; Isa 2:17; Isa 33:10) 11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. (Ps 46:7)
