Tap a verse to highlight it

1 Elohim 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 Elohim, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

5 Elohim is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: Elohim shall help her, and that right early.

6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

7 יהוה of hosts is with us; the Elohim of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

8 Come, behold the works of יהוה, 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 Elohim: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

11 יהוה of hosts is with us; the Elohim of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Psalm 46 declare?
Psalm 46 declares confidence in God as protector even amid cosmic upheaval -- 'though the earth be removed' (v.2) -- describing a river that gladdens the city of God (v.4) and closing with God's command, 'Be still, and know that I am God' (v.10).
What does verse 1 mean by 'God is our refuge and strength'?
It sets up the psalm's central claim that God is 'a very present help in trouble,' meaning immediately available rather than distant. See Psalms 46:1.
What does 'Be still, and know that I am God' mean in verse 10?
It's God's own command in the middle of describing wars and desolations (vv.8-9), calling for trust and stillness rather than striving, since he 'will be exalted among the heathen.'
