Psalm 46 - God Is Our Refuge and Our Strength

C.M. (8.6.8.6) Tune: LADYWELL Psalm 46 Scottish Psalter

Psalm Text

God is our ref-uge and our strength,

In straits a pres-ent aid;

There-fore, al-though the earth re-move,

We will not be a-fraid.

Though hills a-midst the seas be cast;

Though wa-ters roar-ing make,

And troub-led be; yea, though the hills

By swell-ing seas do shake.

A riv-er is, whose streams do glad

The ci-ty of our God;

The ho-ly place, where-in the Lord

Most High hath His a-bode.

God in the midst of her doth dwell;

Noth-ing shall her re-move;

The Lord to her a help-er will,

And that right ear-ly, prove.

Be still, and know that I am God;

A-mong the hea-then I

Will be ex-alt-ed; I on earth

Will be ex-alt-ed high.

Our God, who is the Lord of hosts,

Is still up-on our side;

The God of Ja-cob our ref-uge

For-ev-er will a-bide.
