‘Be still, and know that I am God!

MORNING READING - PSALM 46

¹God is our refuge and strength,
a very present^* help in trouble.
²Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change,
though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea;
³though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble with its tumult.
Selah

⁴There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy habitation of the Most High.
⁵God is in the midst of the city;^* it shall not be moved;
God will help it when the morning dawns.
⁶The nations are in an uproar, the kingdoms totter;
he utters his voice, the earth melts.
⁷The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.^*
Selah

⁸Come, behold the works of the Lord;
see what desolations he has brought on the earth.
⁹He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields with fire.
¹⁰‘Be still, and know that I am God!
I am exalted among the nations,
I am exalted in the earth.’
¹¹The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.^*
Selah
