God the Refuge of His People.

For the choir director. {A Psalm} of the sons of Korah, set to Alamoth. A Song.

1
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.
