Psalm 46

God the Refuge of His People.

^{Tools
1} For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah, ^(a)set to Alamoth. A Song.

God is our ^(A)refuge and strength,
^(b)A very ^(B)present help ^(C)in ^(c)trouble.

^{Tools
2}

Therefore we will ^(D)not fear, though ^(E)the earth should change
And though ^(F)the mountains slip into the heart of the ^(d)sea;

^{Tools
3}

Though its ^(G)waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. ^(e)Selah.

^{Tools
4}

There is a ^(H)river whose streams make glad the ^(I)city of God,
The holy ^(J)dwelling places of the Most High.

^{Tools
5}

God is ^(K)in the midst of her, she will not be moved;
God will ^(L)help her ^(f)when morning dawns.

^{Tools
6}

The ^(g)nations ^(M)made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;
He ^(h)^(N)raised His voice, the earth ^(O)melted.

^{Tools
7}

The Lord of hosts ^(P)is with us;
The God of Jacob is ^(Q)our stronghold. Selah.

^{Tools
8}

Come, ^(R)behold the works of the Lord,
⁽ⁱ⁾Who has wrought ^(S)desolations in the earth.

^{Tools
9}

He ^(T)makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He ^(U)breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He ^(V)burns the chariots with fire.

^{Tools
10}

“^(j)Cease striving and ^(W)know that I am God;
I will be ^(X)exalted among the ^(k)nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

^{Tools
11}

The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.
