Psalms 46

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 For the leader. A song of the Korahites. According to alamoth.	1 [For the choirmaster Of the sons of Korah For oboe Song] God is both refuge and strength for us, ahelp always ready in trouble;
2 God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in distress.	2 so we shall not be afraid though the earth be in turmoil, though mountains tumble into the depths ofthe sea,
3 Thus we do not fear, though earth be shaken and mountains quake to the depths of the sea,	3 and its waters roar and seethe, and the mountains totter as it heaves. (Yahweh Sabaoth is with us, ourcitadel, the God of Jacob.)Pause
4 Though its waters rage and foam and mountains totter at its surging. The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah	4 There is a river whose streams bring joy to God's city, it sanctifies the dwel ing of the Most High.
5 Streams of the river gladden the city of God, the holy dwelling of the Most High.	5 God is in the city, it cannot fal ; at break of day God comes to its rescue.
6 God is in its midst; it shall not be shaken; God will help it at break of day.	6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms are tumbling, when he raises his voice the earth crumbles away.
7 Though nations rage and kingdoms totter, God's voice thunders and the earth trembles.	7 Yahweh Sabaoth is with us, our citadel, the God of Jacob. Pause
8 The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah	8 Come, consider the wonders of Yahweh, the astounding deeds he has done on the earth;
9 Come and see the works of the LORD, who has done fearsome deeds on earth;	9 he puts an end to wars over the whole wide world, he breaks the bow, he snaps the spear, shields heburns in the fire.
10 Who stops wars to the ends of the earth, breaks the bow, splinters the spear, and burns the shields with fire;	10 'Be stil and acknowledge that I am God, supreme over nations, supreme over the world.'
11 Who says: "Be still and confess that I am God! I am exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth."	11 Yahweh Sabaoth is with us, our citadel, the God of Jacob.Pause
12 The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah
