1 For the leader. By the descendants of
Korach. On 'alamot [high-pitched musical instruments?]. A song: God is our
refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we are unafraid, even if
the earth gives way, even if the mountains tumble into the depths of the
sea,
3 even if its waters rage and foam, and
mountains shake at its turbulence.
4 There is a river whose streams
gladden the city of God, the holy habitation of 'Elyon
5 God is in the city. It will not be
moved when daybreak comes, God will help it.
6 Nations were in turmoil, kingdoms
were moved; his voice thundered forth, and the earth melted away.
7 ADONAI-Tzva'ot is with us, our
fortress, the God of Ya'akov. (Selah) (Selah)
8 Come and see the works of ADONAI, the
astounding deeds he has done on the earth.
9 To the ends of the earth he makes
wars cease he breaks the bow, snaps the spear, burns the shields in the
fire.
10 "Desist, and learn that I am
God, supreme over the nations, supreme over the earth."
11 ADONAI-Tzva'ot is with us, our
fortress, the God of Ya'akov. (Selah)
