Psalm 46 our favorite translation


PS.46
 Tune: A Mighty Fortress is Our God  
1.1 God is our refuge and our strength,
A present help in our distress.
2 We will not therefore be afraid
Tho' all the earth should be removed,
Tho' mountains great be hurled
Into the ocean's depths,
3 Tho' seas may roar and foam
And billows shake the shore,
Tho' mountains tremble at their power.
2.4 A river brings refreshing streams
To cheer the city of our God,
The Most High's holy dwelling place.
5 God is in her; she won't be moved;
At dawn will God help her.
6 The heathen rage; realms quake;
He lifts His voice; earth melts.
7 The LORD of hosts with us!
Our fortress strong is Jacob's God.
3.8 O come, see what the LORD has done;
He desolations brought on earth;
9 On earth He puts an end to wars,
Breaks bow and spear, and chariots burns.
10 Be still! Know I am God.
Exalted o'er all men,
Exalted o'er all earth.
11 The LORD of host with us!
Our fortress strong is Jacob's God.
