Tehillim 46

1. (For the one directing. Of the Bnei Korach. Al- alamot [after the manner of virgins, i.e., in the treble]. Shir.) Elohim is our refuge and strength, a very present help in tzoros.

2. (3) Therefore we will not fear, though eretz be shaken, and though the harim (mountains) fall into the lev yamim (heart of the seas);

3. (4) Though the mayim thereof roar and be troubled, though the harim shake with the surging thereof. Selah.

4. (5) There is a nahar (river), the streams whereof shall make glad the Ir Elohim, the Kedosh Mishkenei Elyon (the holy dwelling of the Most High).

5. (6) Elohim is in the midst of it [i.e., the Ir Elohim}; it shall not be moved; Elohim shall help it at early boker.

6. (7) The Goyim raged, the kingdoms totter; He uttered His voice, eretz melted.

7. (8) Hashem Tzva’os is with us; Elohei Ya’akov is our stronghold. Selah.

8. (9) Come, behold the works of Hashem, what desolations He hath made in ha’aretz.

9. (10) He maketh milchamot to cease unto the end of ha’aretz; He breaketh the keshet (bow), and cutteth the khanit (spear); He burneth the chariots in the eish.

10. (11) Be still, and know that I am Elohim: I will be exalted among the Goyim, I will be exalted in ha’aretz.

11. (12) Hashem Tzva’os is with us; Elohei Ya’akov is our stronghold. Selah.
