1{To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. On Alamoth. A song.} God is our refuge and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.

2Therefore will we not fear though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the heart of the seas;

3Though the waters thereof roar and foam, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

4There is a river the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the sanctuary of the habitations of the Most High.

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

6The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

7Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. Selah.

8Come, behold the works of Jehovah, what desolations he hath made in the earth:

9He hath made 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.

10Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

11Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. Selah.
