Psalms 46

Open Word Bible

God is a shelter and a strength for us, a help always close at hand in times of distress. So we will not be afraid, even if the earth is overturned and the mountains slide down into the depths of the sea, when its waters roar and churn and the mountains shudder as the sea heaves. Selah There is a river; its channels bring joy to God’s city, the sacred home of the Most High. God is in the middle of the city; nothing will topple it. God will come to its aid as the morning breaks. Nations were in turmoil and kingdoms shook; he thundered, and the earth melted away. The LORD of Armies is on our side; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. Selah Come, look at the deeds of the LORD, the havoc he has worked across the earth. He puts an end to wars as far as the earth reaches; he snaps the bow, splits the spear, and sets the war wagons on fire. “Stop, and acknowledge that I am God. Among the nations I will be lifted high; over all the earth I will be lifted high.” The LORD of Armies is on our side; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. Selah
