Psalm 46
Refrain:
The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
1. God is our refuge and strèngth,
a very present hélp in trouble.
2. Therefore we will not fear though the earth should chànge,
though the mountains shake in the héart of the sea;
3. though its waters roar and fòam,
though the mountains tremble wíth its tumult. (R)
4. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of Gòd,
the holy habitation óf the Most High.
5. God is in the midst of the city, it shall not be mòved;
God will help it whén the morning dawns.
6. The nations are in an uproar, the kingdoms tòtter;
He utters His vóice, the earth melts. (R)
7. The Lord of hosts is wìth us;
the God of Jacob ís our refuge.
8. Come, behold the works of the Lòrd;
see what desolations He has bróught on the earth.
9. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow, and shatters the spèar;
He búrns the shields with fire. (R)
10. "Be still, and know that I am God!
I am exalted among the nàtions,
I am exálted in the earth."
11. The Lord of hosts is wìth us;
the God of Jacob ís our refuge. (R)
