Psalms 46
Easy-to-Read Version, 2006
- 1[1] God is our protection and source of strength. He is always ready to help us in times of trouble.
- 2So we are not afraid when the earth quakes and the mountains fall into the sea.
- 3We are not afraid when the seas become rough and dark and the mountains tremble. Selah
- 4There is a river whose streams bring happiness to God’s city, to the holy city of God Most High.
- 5God is in that city, so it will never be destroyed. He is there to help even before sunrise.
- 6Nations will shake with fear and kingdoms will fall when God shouts and makes the earth move.
- 7The LORD All-Powerful is with us. The God of Jacob is our place of safety. Selah
- 8Look at the powerful things the LORD has done. See the awesome things he has done on earth.
- 9He stops wars all over the world. He breaks the soldiers’ bows, shatters their spears, and burns their shields.[2]
- 10God says, “Stop fighting and know that I am God! I am the one who defeats the nations; I am the one who controls the world.”
- 11The LORD All-Powerful is with us. The God of Jacob is our place of safety. Selah
