Psalm 46

NLT

MSG

1 God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.
1 God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him.
2 So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea.
2 We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom, courageous in seastorm and earthquake,
3 Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge! Interlude
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.
4 A river brings joy to the city of our God, the sacred home of the Most High.
4 River fountains splash joy, cooling God's city, this sacred haunt of the Most High.
5 God dwells in that city; it cannot be destroyed. From the very break of day, God will protect it.
5 God lives here, the streets are safe, God at your service from crack of dawn.
6 The nations are in chaos, and their kingdoms crumble! God’s voice thunders, and the earth melts!
6 Godless nations rant and rave, kings and kingdoms threaten, but Earth does anything he says.
7 The LORD of Heaven’s Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress. Interlude
7 Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, God of angel armies protects us.
8 Come, see the glorious works of the LORD : See how he brings destruction upon the world.
8 Attention, all! See the marvels of God! He plants flowers and trees all over the earth,
9 He causes wars to end throughout the earth. He breaks the bow and snaps the spear; he burns the shields with fire.
9 Bans war from pole to pole, breaks all the weapons across his knee.
10 “Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”
10 "Step out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at me, your High God, above politics, above everything."
11 The LORD of Heaven’s Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress. Interlude
11 Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, God of angel armies protects us.
