For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of the sons of Korah; set to Alamoth. A Song.
1 God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. [1]
2 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, And though the mountains be shaken into the heart of the seas;
3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, Though the mountains tremble with the swelling thereof. Selah
4 There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High. [2]
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God will help her, and that right early.
6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved: He uttered his voice, the earth melted. [3]
7 Jehovah of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah [4]
8 Come, behold the works of Jehovah, What desolations he hath made in the earth.
9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth 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 in the earth. [5]
11 Jehovah of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
