Psalms 46 KJV
Summary: A hymn of confident trust amid cosmic upheaval, Psalm 46 declares "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" even should mountains be "moved into the heart of the sea" (v. 1-2), contrasting roaring waters and nations in uproar with a river that gladdens the city of God. Its most famous line, spoken as God's own command amid the chaos, is "Be still, and know that I am God" (v. 10), a verse that inspired Martin Luther's hymn "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God." It closes with the refrain "the LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress" (v. 11).
1God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
4There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
6The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9He 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.
10Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
11The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
