Psalms — Capítulo 46

Jesus and the apostles loved the book of Psalms—they quoted from it and lived out of it. These ancient prayers and praises of Israel provide a bridge between the Old Testament and the New Testament; the themes introduced in the psalms find further development in the New Testament.

1Dios es nuestro amparo y fortaleza, Nuestro pronto auxilio en las tribulaciones.

2Por tanto, no temeremos, aunque la tierra sea removida, Y se traspasen los montes al corazón del mar;

3Aunque bramen y se turben sus aguas, Y tiemblen los montes a causa de su braveza.

4Del río sus corrientes alegran la ciudad de Dios, El santuario de las moradas del Altísimo.

5Dios está en medio de ella; no será conmovida. Dios la ayudará al clarear la mañana.

6Bramaron las naciones, titubearon los reinos; Dio él su voz, se derritió la tierra.

7Jehová de los ejércitos está con nosotros; Nuestro refugio es el Dios de Jacob.

8Venid, ved las obras de Jehová, Que ha puesto asolamientos en la tierra.

9Que hace cesar las guerras hasta los fines de la tierra. Que quiebra el arco, corta la lanza, Y quema los carros en el fuego.

10Estad quietos, y conoced que yo soy Dios; Seré exaltado entre las naciones; enaltecido seré en la tierra.

11Jehová de los ejércitos está con nosotros; Nuestro refugio es el Dios de Jacob.
