Psalm 46

John MacMillan • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 46

Verse 1

God is our refuge and our strength, Our ever present aid, And therefore, though the earth remove, We will not be afraid; Though hills amidst the seas be cast, Though foaming waters roar, Yea, though the mighty billows shake The mountains on the shore.

Verse 2

A river flows whose streams make glad The city of our God, The holy place wherein the Lord Most High has His abode; Since God in the midst of her Unmoved her walls shall stand, For God will be her early help, When trouble is at hand.

Verse 3

The nations raged, the kingdoms moved, But when His voice was heard The troubled earth was stilled to peace Before His mighty word; The Lord of hosts is on our side, Our safely to secure, The God of Jacob is for us A refuge strong and sure.
