Psalms Chapter 46
The known hymn "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God"
is based on these verses:
 

Psalm 46 NIV

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way

and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,

the place where the Most High dwells.

God is within her, she will not fall;

God will help her at the break of day.

Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;

he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

The Lord Almighty is with us,

the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Come and see what the Lord has done,

the desolation he has brought on the earth.

He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth.

He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;

he burns the shields with fire.

He says, "Be still, and know that I am God,

I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth."

The Lord Almighty is with us;

The Lord Almighty is with us: the God of Jacob is our fortress."
