Text -- Psalms 46:2-11 (NET)

Strongs On/Off
Context
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. 46:7 The Lord who commands armies is on our side! The God of Jacob is our protector! (Selah) 46:8 Come! Witness the exploits of the Lord, who brings devastation to the earth! 46:9 He brings an end to wars throughout the earth; he shatters the bow and breaks the spear; he burns the shields with fire. 46:10 He says, “Stop your striving and recognize that I am God! I will be exalted over the nations! I will be exalted over the earth!” 46:11 The Lord who commands armies is on our side! The God of Jacob is our protector! (Selah)
