Listen to Psalm 46, Mark 4:35-41

God Is Our Fortress

To the choirmaster. Of ^(A)the Sons of Korah. According to ^(B)Alamoth.^[a] A Song.

46God is our ^(C)refuge and strength,
a very ^(D)present^[b] help in ^(E)trouble.
²Therefore we will not fear ^(F)though the earth gives way,
though the mountains be moved into ^(G)the heart of the sea,
³though ^(H)its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah

⁴There is ^(I)a river whose streams make glad ^(J)the city of God,
the holy ^(K)habitation of the Most High.
⁵^(L)God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
⁶^(M)The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
he ^(N)utters his voice, the earth ^(O)melts.
⁷^(P)The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

⁸^(Q)Come, behold the works of the Lord,
how he has brought desolations on the earth.
⁹^(R)He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
he ^(S)breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
^(T)he burns the chariots with fire.
¹⁰^(U)“Be still, and know that I am God.
^(V)I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!”
¹¹^(W)The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

Jesus Calms a Storm

³⁵^(A)On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” ³⁶And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him. ³⁷And a great windstorm arose, and the waves ^(B)were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. ³⁸But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” ³⁹And he awoke and ^(C)rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and ^(D)there was a great calm. ⁴⁰He said to them, “Why are you ^(E)so afraid? Have you still no faith?” ⁴¹And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, ^(F)“Who then is this, that even ^(G)the wind and the sea obey him?”
