Text -- Psalms 46:1-6 (NET)

Strongs On/Off
Context
Psalm 46
46:1 For the music director; by the Korahites; according to the alamoth style; a song. God is our strong refuge; he is truly our helper in times of trouble. 46:2 For this reason we do not fear when the earth shakes, and the mountains tumble into the depths of the sea, 46:3 when its waves crash and foam, and the mountains shake before the surging sea. (Selah) 46:4 The river’s channels bring joy to the city of God, the special, holy dwelling place of the sovereign One. 46:5 God lives within it, it cannot be moved. God rescues it at the break of dawn. 46:6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms are overthrown. God gives a shout, the earth dissolves.
