Be Still

Cease Striving and Know that I am God<br/><br/>Psalm 46<br/><br/>1 God is our refuge and strength,<br/>A very present help in trouble.<br/><br/>2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change<br/>And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;<br/><br/>3 Though its waters roar and foam,<br/>Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride.   Selah.<br/>4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,<br/>The holy dwelling places of the Most High.<br/><br/>5 God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;<br/>God will help her when morning dawns.<br/><br/>6 The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;<br/>He raised His voice, the earth melted.<br/><br/>7 The Lord of hosts is with us;<br/>The God of Jacob is our stronghold.   Selah.<br/>8 Come, behold the works of the Lord,<br/>Who has wrought desolations in the earth.<br/><br/>9 He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;<br/>He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;<br/>He burns the chariots with fire.<br/><br/>10 “Cease striving and know that I am God;<br/>I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”<br/><br/>11 The Lord of hosts is with us;<br/>The God of Jacob is our stronghold.   Selah.
