1 To him that excelleth upon Alamoth a song committed to the sonnes of Korah. God is our hope and strength, and helpe in troubles, ready to be found. 2 Therefore will not we feare, though the earth be moued, and though the mountaines fall into the middes of the sea. 3 Though the waters thereof rage and be troubled, and the mountaines shake at the surges of the same. Selah, 4 Yet there is a Riuer, whose streames shall make glad the citie of God: euen the Sanctuarie of the Tabernacles of the most High. 5 God is in the middes of it: therefore shall it not be moued: God shall helpe it very earely. 6 When the nations raged, and the kingdomes were moued, God thundred, and the earth melted. 7 The Lord of hostes is with vs: the God of Iaakob is our refuge. Selah. 8 Come, and behold the workes of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth. 9 He maketh warres to cease vnto the endes of the world: he breaketh the bowe and cutteth the speare, and burneth the chariots with fire. 10 Be still and knowe that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, and I wil be exalted in the earth. 11 The Lord of hostes is with vs: the God of Iaakob is our refuge. Selah.
God Is with Us
1 God is our shelter and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble.
2 So we will not be afraid, even if the earth is shaken
and mountains fall into the ocean depths;
3 even if the seas roar and rage,
and the hills are shaken by the violence.
4 There is a river that brings joy to the city of God,
to the sacred house of the Most High.
5 God is in that city, and it will never be destroyed;
at early dawn he will come to its aid.
6 Nations are terrified, kingdoms are shaken;
God thunders, and the earth dissolves.
7 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.
8 Come and see what the Lord has done.
See what amazing things he has done on earth.
9 He stops wars all over the world;
he breaks bows, destroys spears,
and sets shields on fire.
10 “Stop fighting,” he says, “and know that I am God,
supreme among the nations,
supreme over the world.”
11 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.
