Psalm 46: 7-11 (NRSV)1 God is our refuge and strength,     a very present[a] help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change,     though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea, 3 though its waters roar and foam,     though the mountains tremble with its tumult. Selah4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,     the holy habitation of the Most High. 5 God is in the midst of the city;[b] it shall not be moved;     God will help it when the morning dawns. 6 The nations are in an uproar; the kingdoms totter;     he utters his voice; the earth melts. 7 The Lord of hosts is with us;     the God of Jacob is our refuge.[c] Selah8 Come, behold the works of the Lord;     see what desolations he has brought on the earth. 9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;     he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;     he burns the shields with fire. 10 “Be still, and know that I am God!     I am exalted among the nations;     I am exalted in the earth.” 11 The Lord of hosts is with us;     the God of Jacob is our refuge.[d] Selah
