Psalm 46

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹ God is our refuge and strength,
a helper who can always be found in times of trouble.
² That is why we will not fear when the earth dissolves
and when the mountains tumble into the heart of the sea.
³ Its waters roar and foam.
The mountains quake when it rises. Interlude

⁴ There is a river—its streams bring joy to the city of God,
to the holy dwelling of the Most High.
⁵ God is in her. She will not fall.
God will help her at daybreak.
⁶ Nations are in turmoil. Kingdoms fall.
God raises his voice. The earth melts.
⁷ The Lord of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is a fortress for us. Interlude
⁸ Come, look at the works of the Lord.
What a wasteland he has made of the earth!
⁹ He makes wars cease to the end of the earth.
He shatters the bow. He cuts up the spear.
He burns the carts^[b] with fire.
¹⁰ “Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations.
I will be exalted on the earth.”
