Psalms 46

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINKING JAMES BIBLE
1 Unto the end. A Psalm for the sons of Korah.1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 All nations, clap your hands. Shout joyfully to God with a voice of exultation.2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 For the Lord is exalted and terrible: a great King over all the earth.3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
4 He has subjected the peoples to us and subdued the nations under our feet.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 He has chosen us for his inheritance: the splendor of Jacob, whom he has loved.5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
6 God ascends with jubilation, and the Lord with the voice of the trumpet.6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 Sing psalms to our God, sing psalms. Sing psalms to our King, sing psalms.7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8 For God is the King of all the earth. Sing psalms wisely.8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9 God will reign over the peoples. God sits upon his holy throne.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 The leaders of the peoples have been gathered together by the God of Abraham. For the strong gods of the earth have been exceedingly exalted.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.
