New American Standard Bible | ►► |
God, the Refuge of His People.
For the music director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah, [a]set to Alamoth. A Song.
1God is our refuge and strength,
A [b]very ready help in [c]trouble.
2Therefore we will not fear, though the earth shakes
And the mountains slip into the heart of the [d]sea;
3Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Selah
4There is a river whose streams make the city of God happy,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
5God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;
God will help her [e]when morning dawns.
6The [f]nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;
He [g]raised His voice, the earth quaked.
7The LORD of armies is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah
8Come, behold the works of the LORD,
[h]Who has inflicted horrific events on the earth.
9He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.
10“[i]Stop striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the [j]nations, I will be exalted on the earth.”
11The LORD of armies is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah
