NEW AMERICAN BIBLEKING JAMES BIBLE
1 For the leader. A song of the Korahites. According to alamoth.1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in distress.2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Thus we do not fear, though earth be shaken and mountains quake to the depths of the sea,3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
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 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5 Streams of the river gladden the city of God, the holy dwelling of the Most High.5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
6 God is in its midst; it shall not be shaken; God will help it at break of day.6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 Though nations rage and kingdoms totter, God's voice thunders and the earth trembles.7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8 The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9 Come and see the works of the LORD, who has done fearsome deeds on earth;9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
10 Who stops wars to the ends of the earth, breaks the bow, splinters the spear, and burns the shields with fire;10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
11 Who says: "Be still and confess that I am God! I am exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth."11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
12 The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah
