For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to
Alamoth.*1
1 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 the waters of it 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 Yahweh of Hosts is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.
8 Come, see Yahweh’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 Yahweh of Hosts is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.
1 Alamoth is a musical term.
