NEW AMERICAN BIBLEDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 For the leader. A song of the Korahites. According to alamoth.1 Unto the end, for the sons of Core, for the hidden.
2 God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in distress.2 Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.
3 Thus we do not fear, though earth be shaken and mountains quake to the depths of the sea,3 Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.
4 Though its waters rage and foam and mountains totter at its surging. The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah4 Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength.
5 Streams of the river gladden the city of God, the holy dwelling of the Most High.5 The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.
6 God is in its midst; it shall not be shaken; God will help it at break of day.6 God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early.
7 Though nations rage and kingdoms totter, God's voice thunders and the earth trembles.7 Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.
8 The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah8 The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
9 Come and see the works of the LORD, who has done fearsome deeds on earth;9 Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth,
10 Who stops wars to the ends of the earth, breaks the bow, splinters the spear, and burns the shields with fire;10 making wars to cease even to the end of the earth. He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: and the shield he shall burn in the fire.
11 Who says: "Be still and confess that I am God! I am exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth."11 Be still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.
12 The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah12 The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
