To the Chief Musician. A Song for the sons of Korah.

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 be carried into the midst of the sea,

3Though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains shake with the swelling of it. Selah.

4There is a river whose streams make the city of God rejoice, the holy dwelling place of the Most High.

5God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God shall help her at the approach of the morning.

6The nations raged, the kingdoms were shaken; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.

7The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

8Come, behold the works of the LORD who makes desolations upon the earth,

9Who makes wars to cease to the ends of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; 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 in the earth."

11The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
