PSAL. XLVI. To the chief musician for the sons of Korah, A song upon Alamoth. (Book 46)

GOd is our refuge, and our strength, in straits a present aid. Therefore, although the earth remove,Line 2 we will not be afraid: Though hills amidst the sea be cast, Though waters roaring make,Line 3 And troubled be; yea, though the hills by swelling seas do shake.

A river is, whose streams do gladLine 4 the City of our God: The holy place, wherein the Lord most high hath his abode. God in the midst of her doth dwell:Line 5 nothing shall her remove; The Lord to her an helper will, and that right early, prove.

The Heathen rag'd tumultuously,Line 6 the Kingdoms moved were: The Lord God uttered his voice, the earth did melt for fear. The Lord of hosts upon our sideLine 7 doth constantly remain: The God of Jacob's our refuge, us safely to maintain.

Come, and behold what wondrous worksLine 8 have by the Lord been wrought:

Come, see what desolations he on the earth hath brought. Unto the ends of all the earthLine 9 wars into peace he turns: The bow he breaks, the spear he cuts, in fire the chariot burns.

Be still, and know that I am God:Line 10 among the Heathen I Will be exalted, I on earth will be exalted hie. Our God, who is the Lord of hosts,Line 11 is still upon our side. The God of Jacob our refuge for ever will abide.
