46Verse 1God is our protection and our strength; always ready to help when troubles come.

^{Verse 3}though the waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble as the waters surge violently! Selah.
^{Verse 4}A river flows to bring happiness to those in God's city, the holy place where the Most High lives.
^{Verse 5}God is in the midst of the city; it will never fall. God protects it as soon as it is light.^{+

^{Verse 7}The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob protects us. Selah.
^{Verse 8}Come and see what the Lord has achieved! See the amazing things⁺he has done on the earth!
^{Verse 9}He stops wars all over the world. He smashes the bow; he breaks the spear; he sets shields on fire.
^{Verse 10}Stop fighting! Recognize I am God! I am the ruler of the nations; I am the ruler of the earth.
^{Verse 11}The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob protects us. Selah.
