1 For the choirmaster. Of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.* A song.
 
2 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in times of trouble.
3 Therefore we will not fear,
though the earth is transformed
and the mountains are toppled
into the depths of the seas,
4 though their waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake in the surge.
Selah
5 There is a river whose streams delight the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
6 God is within her; she will not be moved.
God will help her when morning dawns.
7 Nations rage, kingdoms crumble;
the earth melts when he lifts his voice.
8 The LORD of Hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah
9 Come, see the works of the LORD,
who brings devastation upon the earth.
10 He makes wars to cease throughout the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the chariots† in the fire.
 
11 “Be still and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted over the earth.”
 
12 The LORD of Hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah
