Psalms 46

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