NEW AMERICAN BIBLECATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 For the leader. A song of the Korahites. According to alamoth.1 Unto the end. A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
2 God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in distress.2 All nations, clap your hands. Shout joyfully to God with a voice of exultation.
3 Thus we do not fear, though earth be shaken and mountains quake to the depths of the sea,3 For the Lord is exalted and terrible: a great King over all the earth.
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 He has subjected the peoples to us and subdued the nations under our feet.
5 Streams of the river gladden the city of God, the holy dwelling of the Most High.5 He has chosen us for his inheritance: the splendor of Jacob, whom he has loved.
6 God is in its midst; it shall not be shaken; God will help it at break of day.6 God ascends with jubilation, and the Lord with the voice of the trumpet.
7 Though nations rage and kingdoms totter, God's voice thunders and the earth trembles.7 Sing psalms to our God, sing psalms. Sing psalms to our King, sing psalms.
8 The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah8 For God is the King of all the earth. Sing psalms wisely.
9 Come and see the works of the LORD, who has done fearsome deeds on earth;9 God will reign over the peoples. God sits upon his holy throne.
10 Who stops wars to the ends of the earth, breaks the bow, splinters the spear, and burns the shields with fire;10 The leaders of the peoples have been gathered together by the God of Abraham. For the strong gods of the earth have been exceedingly exalted.
11 Who says: "Be still and confess that I am God! I am exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth."
12 The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah
