Psalms

Psalm 46:7–11

⁷The LORD of Hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Selah

⁸Come, see the works of the LORD,

who brings devastation upon the earth.

⁹He makes wars to cease throughout the earth;

He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;

He burns the shields^b in the fire.

¹⁰“Be still and know that I am God;

I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted over the earth.”

¹¹The LORD of Hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Selah
