2  Elohim is our refuge and strength,

a very present help in tzoros.

3  Therefore we will not fear,

though eretz be shaken,

and though the harim (mountains) fall

into the lev yamim (heart of the seas);

4  Though the mayim thereof roar and be troubled,

though the harim shake with the surging thereof.

5  There is a nahar (river), the streams whereof shall make glad the Ir Elohim,

the Kedosh Mishkenei Elyon (the holy dwelling of the Most High).

6  Elohim is in the midst of it;†i.e., the Ir Elohim it shall not be moved;

Elohim shall help it at early boker.

7  The Goyim raged, the kingdoms totter;

He uttered His voice, eretz melted.

8 Hashem Tzva'os is with us;

Elohei Ya'akov is our stronghold.

9  Come, behold the works of Hashem,

what desolations He hath made in ha'aretz.

10  He maketh milchamot to cease unto the end of ha'aretz;

He breaketh the keshet (bow), and cutteth the khanit (spear);

He burneth the chariots in the eish.

11  Be still, and know that I am Elohim:

I will be exalted among the Goyim,

I will be exalted in ha'aretz.

12 Hashem Tzva'os is with us;

Elohei Ya'akov is our stronghold.
