Tehillim 46 - Chapter 46 - Psalm 46

Lamnatsêach livnê Côrach al alamot shir
Elohim lánu machasse vaoz, ezra vetsarot nimtsa meod
Al ken lo nira behamir árets, uvemot harim belev iamim
Iehemu iech’meru memav, yir’ashú harim begaavato sêla
Nahar pelagav iessamechú ir Elohim, kedosh mishkenê elion
Elohim bekirbá bal timot, iazerêha Elohim lifnot bóker
Hamu goyim matu mamlachot, natan becolo tamug árets
Adonai tsevaót imánu, misgav lánu Elohê Iaacov sêla
Lechú chazú mif’alót Adonai, asher sam shamot baárets
Mashbit milchamót ad ketse haárets, késhet ieshaber vekitsets chanit, agalot yisrof baesh
Harpu ud’ú ki anochi Elohim, arum bagoyim arum baárets
Adonai tsevaót imánu, misgav lánu Elohê Iaacov sêla

1. To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song according to Alamoth.
2. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
3. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
4. Tough its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains shake with their swelling. Selah.
5. There is a river, whose streams make glad the city of God, the holiest dwelling place of the most High.
6. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God shall help her before morning. 7. Nations rage, kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts.
8. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
9. Come, behold the works of the Lord, the desolations that he has made in the earth.
10. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear; he burns the chariot in the fire.
11. Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
12. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

A prayer for the end of all wars

This psalm tells of the Gog and Magog era (the Messianic age), when man will cast aside his weapons, and warfare will be no more.
