Psalm 46

David Koyzis ©

1. God is our refuge and salvation,
   Our present help in tribulation.
   We will not fear though earth may shake,
   For God will keep us mid the quake.
   Mountains may fall into the ocean,
   But we will not fear such commotion.
   With us the Lord of Hosts shall dwell,
   The mighty God of Is-ra-el.
   
2. Within the city flows a river
   Into God's dwelling place for ever.
   He stands within the city's wall,
   And with Him there she cannot fall.
   Nations may seek to cause affliction;
   One word from God is our protection.
   With us the Lord of Hosts shall dwell,
   The mighty God of Is-ra-el.
   
3. Come, see the works of His creation,
   God's marvels plain to every nation.
   He does away with deeds of war
   That all may live in peace once more.
   Know he is God--be still and ponder--
   He is exalted in His splendor.
   With us the Lord of Hosts shall dwell,
   The mighty God of Israel.
