Psalm 46

New Coverdale Version

God is our refuge and strength, * a very present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be moved, * and though the hills be carried into the midst of the sea;

Though its waters rage and swell, * and though the mountains shake at its tempest.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, * the holy dwelling place of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her; therefore she shall not be moved. * God shall help her at the break of day.

The nations are in an uproar, and the kingdoms are moved, * but God has lifted his voice, and the earth shall melt away.

The Lord of hosts is with us; * the God of Jacob is our refuge.

O come and behold the works of the Lord, * what devastations he has brought upon the earth.

He makes wars to cease in all the world; * he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear, and burns the chariots in the fire.

“Be still then and know that I am God; * I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.”

The Lord of hosts is with us; * the God of Jacob is our refuge.
