For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.a
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
YHVH of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8
Come, see YHVH’s works,
what desolations he has made on 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 among the nations.
I will be exalted on the earth.”
11
YHVH of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
