PSALMS 46 THE PROTECTOR OF ZION, GOD

KING JAMES BIBLE

1 GOD is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

KING JAMES 1611

1To the chiefe Musician for the sonnes of Korah, a song vpon Alamoth. God is our refuge and strength: a very present helpe in trouble.

2Therfore will not we feare, though the earth be remoued: and though the mountaines be caried into the midst of the sea.

3Though the waters thereof roare, and be troubled, though the mountaines shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

4There is a riuer, the streames wherof shall make glad the citie of God: the holy place of the Tabernacles of the most High.

5God is in the midst of her: she shal not be moued; God shall helpe her, and that right early.

6The heathen raged, the kingdomes were mooued: he vttered his voyce, the earth melted.

7The Lord of hosts is with vs; the God of Iacob is our refuge. Selah.

8Come, behold the workes of the Lord, what desolations hee hath made in the earth.

9He maketh warres to cease vnto the end of the earth: hee breaketh the bow, and cutteth the speare in sunder, he burneth the chariot in the fire.

10Be stil, and know that I am God: I will bee exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

11The Lord of hosts is with vs; the God of Iacob is our refuge. Selah.

THE NEW AMERICAN BIBLE

1 For the leader. A song of the Korahites. According to alamoth.

2 God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in distress.

3 Thus we do not fear, though earth be shaken and mountains quake to the depths of the sea,

4 Though its waters rage and foam and mountains totter at its surging.

5 Streams of the river gladden the city of God, the holy dwelling of the Most High.

6 God is in its midst; it shall not be shaken; God will help it at break of day.

7 Though nations rage and kingdoms totter, he utters his voice and the earth melts.

8 The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob

9 Come and see the works of the LORD, who has done fearsome deeds on earth;

10 Who stops wars to the ends of the earth, breaks the bow, splinters the spear, and burns the shields with fire;

11 “Be still and know that I am God!

I am exalted among the nations,

exalted on the earth.”

12 The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob.

COMMENTARIE

Verses 1-3 were precious to the saints of that day, and yet today, with God our refuge, strength and present help in time of trouble.  May be considered Messianic.
In the following verses, God’s presence in Zion makes her safe from enemies.

 

 

 

Verse 10 calls them and us to take time to “Be still and know that I am God.”
