God the Refuge of His People and Conqueror of the Nations
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song #1 Chr. 15:20for Alamoth.
1 God is our Ps. 62:7, 8refuge and strength,
(Deut. 4:7; Ps. 145:18)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 (Ps. 93:3, 4)Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling.
Selah
4 Thereis a (Ezek. 47:1–12)river whose streams shall make glad the Ps. 48:1, 8; Is. 60:14city of God,
The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.
5 God is(Deut. 23:14; Is. 12:6); Ezek. 43:7; Hos. 11:9; (Joel 2:27; Zeph. 3:15; Zech. 2:5, 10, 11; 8:3)in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;
God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.
6 Ps. 2:1, 2The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved;
He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
7 The Num. 14:9; 2 Chr. 13:12Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge.

8 Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has made desolations in the earth.
9 Is. 2:4He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
Ps. 76:3He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
Ezek. 39:9He burns the chariot in the fire.
10 Be still, and know that I am God;
(Is. 2:11, 17)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
