God the Refuge of His People.
For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah, set to Alamoth. A Song.
God is our Arefuge and strength,
1A very Bpresent help Cin 2trouble.
Therefore we will Anot fear, though Bthe earth should change
And though Cthe mountains slip into the heart of the 1sea;
Though its Awaters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. 1
Selah.
There is a Ariver whose streams make glad the Bcity of God,
The holy Cdwelling places of the Most High.
God is Ain the midst of her, she will not be moved;
God will Bhelp her 1when morning dawns.
The 1nations Amade an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;
He 2Braised His voice, the earth Cmelted.
The Lord of hosts Ais with us;
The God of Jacob is Bour stronghold.
Selah.
Come, Abehold the works of the Lord,
1Who has wrought Bdesolations in the earth.
He Amakes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He Bbreaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He Cburns the chariots with fire.
10 1Cease striving and Aknow that I am God;
I will be Bexalted among the 2nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
11 The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
Selah.
