Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
Darby Translation
Psalms 46
1To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. On Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found. 2Therefore will we not fear though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the heart of the seas; 3Though the waters thereof roar [and] foam, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. 4There is a river the streams whereof make glad the city ofGod, the sanctuary of the habitations of the Most High. 5God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved:God shall help her at the dawn of the morning. 6The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; he uttered his voice, the earth melted. 7Jehovah of hosts is with us; theGod of Jacob is our high fortress. Selah. 8Come, behold the works of Jehovah, what desolations he hath made in the earth: 9He hath made wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariots in the fire. 10Be still, and know that I amGod: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. 11Jehovah of hosts is with us; theGod of Jacob is our high fortress. Selah.
