Psalm 46:1-Psalm 47:1 - God Our Refuge

¹ For the music director; by the Korahites; according to the alamoth style; a song. God is our strong refuge; he is truly our helper in times of trouble. ² For this reason we do not fear when the earth shakes, and the mountains tumble into the depths of the sea, ³ when its waves crash and foam, and the mountains shake before the surging sea. (Selah)

⁴ The river's channels bring joy to the city of God, the special, holy dwelling place of the sovereign One. ⁵ God lives within it, it cannot be moved. God rescues it at the break of dawn. ⁶ Nations are in uproar, kingdoms are overthrown. God gives a shout, the earth dissolves. ⁷ The Lord who commands armies is on our side! The God of Jacob is our protector! (Selah)

⁸ Come! Witness the exploits of the Lord, who brings devastation to the earth! ⁹ He brings an end to wars throughout the earth; he shatters the bow and breaks the spear; he burns the shields with fire. ¹⁰ He says, "Stop your striving and recognize that I am God! I will be exalted over the nations! I will be exalted over the earth!" ¹¹ The Lord who commands armies is on our side! The God of Jacob is our protector! (Selah)

¹ For the music director; by the Korahites; a psalm. All you nations, clap your hands! Shout out to God in celebration!
