A psalm written by one of the descendants of Korah for the choir director
1 God is the one who protects us and causes us to be strong;
he is always ready to help us when we have troubles.
2 So, even if the earth shakes,
we will not be afraid.
Even if the mountains fall into the middle of the sea,
3 and if the water in the sea roars and foams,
and the hills shake violently,
we will not be afraid!
(Think about that!)
6 Sometimes the people of many nations are terrified;
kingdoms ◄are overthrown/cease to exist►;
God speaks loudly like thunder,
and the earth melts (OR, people everywhere become terrified) [MET].
10 God says, "Be quiet, and remember that I am God!
I will be honored by the people of all nations.
I will be honored all over the earth."
