To the Chief Musician.
A
Psalm
of the sons of Korah. A Song
#
for Alamoth.
1 Godisourrefuge and strength,
# A very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Thoughits waters roarandbe troubled,
Thoughthe mountains shake with its swelling.

4 Thereisariver whose streams shall make glad thecity of God,
The holyplaceof the tabernacle of the Most High.
5 Godisin the midst of her, she shall not be moved;
God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.
6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved;
He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
7 TheLordof hostsiswith us;
The God of Jacobisour refuge.

8 Come, behold the works of theLord,
Who has made desolations in the earth.
9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
# He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
# He burns the chariot in the fire.
10 Be still, and know that IamGod;
# I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!
11 TheLordof hostsiswith us;
The God of Jacobisour refuge.
Selah
