Psalms 46

MSG

NIV

1 God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him.
1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
2 We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom, courageous in seastorm and earthquake,
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 Before the rush and roar of oceans, the tremors that shift mountains. Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, God of angel armies protects us.
3 though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.
4 River fountains splash joy, cooling God's city, this sacred haunt of the Most High.
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God lives here, the streets are safe, God at your service from crack of dawn.
5 God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.
6 Godless nations rant and rave, kings and kingdoms threaten, but Earth does anything he says.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
7 Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, God of angel armies protects us.
7 The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
8 Attention, all! See the marvels of God! He plants flowers and trees all over the earth,
8 Come and see what the LORD has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 Bans war from pole to pole, breaks all the weapons across his knee.
9 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire.
10 "Step out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at me, your High God, above politics, above everything."
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
11 Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, God of angel armies protects us.
11 The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
