46:1 God is our secure shelter,1
he is truly our helper in times of trouble.2
46:2 For this reason we do not fear3

and the mountains tumble into the depths of the sea,5
46:3 when its waves6
crash7
and foam,
and the mountains shake8
before the surging sea.9

bring joy to the city of God,10
the special, holy dwelling place of11
the Sovereign One.12

the spear,
he burns29
the shields.30

Stop your striving and recognize32
that I am God!
I will be exalted33
over34
the nations! I will be exalted over35
the earth!
