Psalms 46

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.	1 For the leader. A song of the Korahites. According to alamoth.
2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;	2 God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in distress.
3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.	3 Thus we do not fear, though earth be shaken and mountains quake to the depths of the sea,
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.	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 midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.	5 Streams of the river gladden the city of God, the holy dwelling of the Most High.
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.	6 God is in its midst; it shall not be shaken; God will help it at break of day.
7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.	7 Though nations rage and kingdoms totter, God's voice thunders and the earth trembles.
8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.	8 The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah
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.	9 Come and see the works of the LORD, who has done fearsome deeds on earth;
10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.	10 Who stops wars to the ends of the earth, breaks the bow, splinters the spear, and burns the shields with fire;
11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.	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
