1 For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.God is our refuge and strength,a very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we won't be afraid, though the earth changes,though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

3 though its waters roar and are troubled,though the mountains tremble with their swelling.Selah.

4 There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad,the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

5 God is in her midst. She shall not be moved.God will help her at dawn.

6 The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved.He lifted his voice, and the earth melted.

7 The Lord of hosts is with us.The God of Jacob is our refuge.Selah.

8 Come, see the Lord's works,what desolations he has made in the earth.

9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth.He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear.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."

11 The Lord of hosts is with us.The God of Jacob is our refuge.Selah.
