God Is Our Fortress

 Psalm 46 (ESV): God Is Our Fortress

To the choirmaster. Of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A Song. 

 1  God is our refuge and strength, 

a very present help in trouble. 

 2  Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, 

though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, 

 3  though its waters roar and foam, 

though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah 

 4  There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, 

the holy habitation of the Most High. 

 5  God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; 

God will help her when morning dawns. 

 6  The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; 

he utters his voice, the earth melts. 

 7  The Lord of hosts is with us; 

the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah 

 8  Come, behold the works of the Lord, 

how he has brought desolations on the earth. 

 9  He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; 

he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; 

he burns the chariots with fire. 

 10  “Be still, and know that I am God. 

I will be exalted among the nations, 

I will be exalted in the earth!” 

 11  The Lord of hosts is with us; 

the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
