God the Refuge of his People.
For the Chief Musician.
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 will we not fear, though the earth do change,
And though the mountains be shaken into the heart of the seas;
3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains tremble with the swelling thereof. {Selah
4 There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God,
The holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved:
God will help her, at the dawn of morning.
6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved:
He uttered his voice, the earth melted,
7 Jehovah of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge. {Selah
8 Come, behold the works of Jehovah,
What desolations he hath made in the earth.
9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth;
He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder;
He burneth 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 Jehovah of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge. {Selah
