Psalm 46

God’s Defense of His City and People

To the leader. Of the Korahites. According to Alamoth. A Song.

God is our refuge and strength,
    a very present[a] help in trouble.(A)
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change,
    though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea,(B)
though its waters roar and foam,
    though the mountains tremble with its tumult. Selah(C)

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
    the holy habitation of the Most High.(D)
God is in the midst of the city;[b] it shall not be moved;
    God will help it when the morning dawns.(E)

as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland
    and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.(A)
