1. PSALM 46
Cultivating a
Quiet Heart

2. God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear,
though the earth should change
And though the mountains slip
into the heart of the sea;
Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake
at its swelling pride. Selah.

3. There is a river whose streams
make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places
of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her,
she will not be moved;
God will help her
when morning dawns.

4. The nations made an uproar,
the kingdoms tottered;
He raised His voice,
the earth melted.
Yahweh of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob
is our stronghold.
Selah.

5. Come,
behold the works of Yahweh,
Who has wrought desolations
in the earth.
He makes wars to cease
to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and
cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.

6. "Cease striving
and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."
Yahweh of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob
is our stronghold.
Selah.
