1To the choirmaster. Of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.* A Song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present* help in trouble.2Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,3though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling.4There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High.5God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.6The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts.7The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.8Come, behold the works of the Lord, how he has brought desolations on the earth.9He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire.10“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”11The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
New International Reader’s Version
For the director of music. A song of the Sons of Korah. According to alamoth.
1God is our place of safety. He gives us strength. He is always there to help us in times of trouble.2The earth may fall apart. The mountains may fall into the middle of the sea. But we will not be afraid.3The waters of the sea may roar and foam. The mountains may shake when the waters rise. But we will not be afraid.4God’s blessings are like a river. They fill the city of God with joy. That city is the holy place where the Most High God lives.5Because God is there, the city will not fall. God will help it at the beginning of the day.6Nations are in disorder. Kingdoms fall. God speaks, and the people of the earth melt in fear.7The LORD who rules over all is with us. The God of Jacob is like a fort to us.8Come and see what the LORD has done. See the places he has destroyed on the earth.9He makes wars stop from one end of the earth to the other. He breaks every bow. He snaps every spear. He burns every shield with fire.10He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God. I will be honoured among the nations. I will be honoured in the earth.’11The LORD who rules over all is with us. The God of Jacob is like a fort to us.
