Psalms 46 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

God is our mighty fortress

(A special song for the people of Korah and for the music leader.)

1. God is our mighty fortress,always ready to helpin times of trouble.

2. And so, we won't be afraid!Let the earth trembleand the mountains tumbleinto the deepest sea.

3. Let the ocean roar and foam,and its raging wavesshake the mountains.

4. A river and its streamsbring joy to the city,which is the sacred homeof God Most High.

5. God is in that city,and it won't be shaken.He will help it at dawn.

6. Nations rage! Kingdoms fall!But at the voice of Godthe earth itself melts.

7. The Lord All-Powerfulis with us.The God of Jacobis our fortress.

8. Come! See the fearsome thingsthe Lord has done on earth.

9. God brings wars to an endall over the world.He breaks the arrows,shatters the spears,and burns the shields.

10. Our God says, “Calm down,and learn that I am God!All nations on earthwill honour me.”

11. The Lord All-Powerfulis with us.The God of Jacobis our fortress.
