Psalm 46

EasyEnglish Bible

46 God is a strong place for us,
    where he will keep us safe.
He will always help us
    when troubles come.
² So even when the earth shakes,
    we will not be afraid.
And when the mountains fall down
    into the deep sea,
we will still not be afraid.
³ If the sea makes dangerous waves,
    so that even the mountains shake,
we will never be afraid.
Selah.
⁴ There is a river that runs into the city of God,
    and it brings God's blessing to the people there.
That is the holy place
    where the Most High God lives.
⁵ God is in that city.
    Nothing can ever destroy it.
When dawn comes, God will be there to help it.
⁶ Nations are shouting with anger!
    Kingdoms shake and fall.
God calls in a loud voice,
    and even the earth melts!
⁷ The Lord Almighty is there to help us.
    The God of Jacob keeps us safe.
Selah.
⁸ Come and see the great things
    that the Lord has done.
He has brought terrible things to the earth!
⁹ All over the world, he causes wars to finish.
He destroys the soldiers' bows and spears.
    He burns their shields in a fire.
¹⁰ He says, ‘Be still and quiet!
    Understand that I am God.
I rule as king over the nations.
    All the world will say that I am great.’
¹¹ The Lord Almighty is there to help us.
    The God of Jacob keeps us safe.
Selah.
