God the Refuge of His People.
For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah, set to Alamoth. A Song.
1God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
2Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
3Though its waters roar
and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride.
Selah.
4There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
5God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
6The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;
He raised His voice, the earth melted.
7The L
ORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
Selah.
8Come, behold the works of the L
ORD,
Who has wrought desolations in the earth.
9He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.
10Cease
striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
11The L
ORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
Selah.
