Psalm 46

Refrain:
    The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our stronghold.

1.  God is our refuge and strèngth,
    a very present hélp in trouble.

2.  Therefore we will not fear though the earth should chànge,
    though the mountains shake in the héart of the sea;
3.  though its waters roar and fòam,
    though the mountains tremble wíth its tumult. (R)

4.  There is a river whose streams make glad the city of Gòd,
    the holy habitation óf the Most High.
5.  God is in the midst of the city, it shall not be mòved;
    God will help it whén the morning dawns.

6. The nations are in an uproar, the kingdoms tòtter;
    He utters His vóice, the earth melts. (R)

7.  The Lord of hosts is wìth us;
    the God of Jacob ís our refuge.

8.  Come, behold the works of the Lòrd;
    see what desolations He has bróught on the earth.
9.  He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
    He breaks the bow, and shatters the spèar;
    He búrns the shields with fire. (R)

10. "Be still, and know that I am God!
    I am exalted among the nàtions,
    I am exálted in the earth."

11. The Lord of hosts is wìth us;
    the God of Jacob ís our refuge. (R)
