Psalm 46

Bishop Stewart has asked us to pray Psalm 46 for 46 days.

1 God is our refuge and strength, *
a very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be moved, *
and though the hills be carried into the midst of the sea;

3 Though its waters rage and swell, *
and though the mountains shake at its tempest.

4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, *
the holy dwelling place of the Most High.

5 God is in the midst of her; therefore she shall not be moved. *
God shall help her at the break of day.

6 The nations are in an uproar, and the kingdoms are moved, *
but God has lifted his voice, and the earth shall melt away.

7 The Lord of hosts is with us; *
the God of Jacob is our refuge.

8 O come and behold the works of the Lord, *
what devastations he has brought upon the earth.

9 He makes wars to cease in all the world; *
he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear, and burns the chariots in the fire.

10 “Be still then and know that I am God; *
I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 The Lord of hosts is with us; *
the God of Jacob is our refuge.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world
without end. Amen.
