For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.46:0 Alamoth is a musical term.
1God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
2Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes,
though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;
3though 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.
5God is within her. 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 on 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 amongst the nations.
I will be exalted on the earth.”
11 The LORD of Hosts is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
