For the Chief Musician. By the sons of
Korah. According to Alamoth.†
1 God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the
earth changes,
though the mountains are shaken into
the heart of the seas;
3 though its waters roar and are troubled,
though the mountains tremble with
their swelling.
Selah.
4 There is a river, the streams of which
make the city of God glad,
the holy place of the tents of the Most High.
5 God is within her. She shall not be moved.
God will help her at dawn.
6 The nations raged.
The kingdoms were moved.
He lifted his voice and
the earth melted.
7 The LORD of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.
8 Come, see the LORD’s works,
what desolations he has made
in the earth.
9 He makes wars cease to the
end of the earth.
He breaks the bow, and
shatters the spear.
He burns the chariots in the fire.
10 “Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted amongst the nations.
I will be exalted in the earth.”
11 The LORD of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.
