1 (For the choir director. [A Psalm] of the sons of Korah, set to Alamoth. A Song.) God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;

3 Though its waters roar [and] foam, Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Selah.

4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, The holy dwelling places of the Most High.

5 God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.

6 The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered; He raised His voice, the earth melted.

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

8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has wrought desolations in the earth.

9 He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariots with fire.

10 "Cease [striving] 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 stronghold. Selah.
