Psalms for the Weary - Day 1: Psalm 46

Day 1: Psalm 46

1   God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

2   Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

3   Though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.

4   There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.

5   God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.

6   Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; He lifts His voice, the earth melts.

7   The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

8   Come and see what the Lord has done, the desolations He has brought on the earth.

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   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   The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

These are weary times, friends.

BUT…
