Psalm 46

46God is our refuge and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble.

2  So we will not fear when earthquakes come
and the mountains crumble into the sea.

3  Let the oceans roar and foam.
Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!

4  A river brings joy to the city of our God,
the sacred home of the Most High.

5  God dwells in that city; it cannot be destroyed.
From the very break of day, God will protect it.

6  The nations are in chaos,
and their kingdoms crumble!
God’s voice thunders,
and the earth melts!

7  The LORD of Heaven’s Armies is here among us;
the God of Israel is our fortress.

8  Come, see the glorious works of the LORD
See how he brings destruction upon the world.

9  He causes wars to end throughout the earth.
He breaks the bow and snaps the spear;
he burns the shields with fire.

10  “Be still, and know that I am God!
I will be honored by every nation.
I will be honored throughout the world.

11  The LORD of Heaven’s Armies is here among us;
the God of Israel is our fortress.
