Families rest beside a clear river while mountains churn and abandoned bows lie outside

Psalm 46:10

Psalm 46 declares God a present refuge when earth, mountains, seas, nations, and kingdoms convulse. A life-giving river steadies the city, warfare is brought to an end, and frightened people are summoned into stillness.

About Psalms: book summary and outline →

1TO THE OVERSEER. BY SONS OF KORAH. FOR GIRLS’ [VOICES]. A SONG. God [is] our refuge and strength, || A most sure help in adversities.
2Therefore we do not fear in the changing of earth, || And in the slipping of mountains || Into the heart of the seas.
3Roar—troubled are its waters, || Mountains shake in its pride. Selah.
4A river—its streams make glad the city of God, || Your holy place of the dwelling places of the Most High.
5God [is] in her midst—she is not moved, God helps her at the turn of the morning!
6Nations have been troubled, || Kingdoms have been moved, || He has given forth with His voice—earth melts.
7YHWH of Hosts [is] with us, || The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us. Selah.
8Come, see the works of YHWH, || Who has done astonishing things in the earth,
9Causing wars to cease, || To the end of the earth, He shatters the bow, || And He has cut apart the spear, || He burns chariots with fire.
10Desist, and know that I [am] God, || I am exalted among nations, || I am exalted in the earth.
11YHWH of hosts [is] with us, || The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us! Selah.
