BSB PSA Chapter 46

God Is Our Refuge and Strength

(2 Kings 18:13–16, 2 Chronicles 32:1–8)

For the choirmaster. Of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.[fn] A song.

46 God is our refuge and strength,

an ever-present help in times of trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear,

though the earth is transformed

and the mountains are toppled

into the depths of the seas,

3 though their waters roar and foam

and the mountains quake in the surge.

Selah

4 There is a river whose streams delight the city of God,

the holy place where the Most High dwells.

5 God is within her; she will not be moved.

God will help her when morning dawns.

6 Nations rage, kingdoms crumble;

the earth melts when He lifts His voice.

7 The LORD of Hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Selah

8 Come, see the works of the LORD,

who brings devastation upon the earth.

9 He makes wars to cease throughout the earth;

He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;

He burns the shields [fn] in the fire.

10 “Be still and know that I am God;

I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted over the earth.”

11 The LORD of Hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Selah
