To the chief Musician, for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth.
1 GOD is our refuge, strength, and help
in troubles very near.
2 Therefore we will not be afraid,
though th’ earth removed were,
though mountains move to midst of seas.
3 Though waters roaring make
and troubled be, at whose swellings
although the mountains shake. Selah.
4 There is a river, streams whereof
shall rejoice God’s city,
the holy place the tent wherein
abideth the most high.
5 God is within the midst of her;
moved she shall not be:
God shall be unto her an help,
in the morning early.
6 The nations made tumultuous noise,
the kingdoms moved were:
he did give forth his thundering voice,
the earth did melt with fear.
7 The God of armies is with us;
th’ eternal Jehovah
the God of Jacob is for us
a refuge high. Selah.
8 O come ye forth behold the works
which Jehovah hath wrought,
the fearful desolations
which on the earth he brought.
9 Unto the utmost ends of th’ earth
wars into peace he turns;
the spear he cuts, the bow he breaks;
in fire the chariots burns.
10 Be still, and know that I am God:
exalted be will I
among the heathen, through the earth
I’ll be exalted high.
11 The God of armies is with us,
th’ eternal Jehovah;
the God of Jacob is for us
a refuge high. Selah.
