For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah; set to Alamoth. A Song.
God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change,
And though the mountains be shaken into the heart of the seas
Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains tremble with the {Or, pride}swelling thereof. [Selah
There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God,
The holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved:
God will help her, {Hebrew: at the dawn of morning.}and that right early.
The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved:
He uttered his voice, the earth melted.
Jehovah of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our {Or, high tower}refuge.
[Selah
Come, behold the works of Jehovah,
{Or, Who hath made desolation &c.}What desolations he hath made in the earth.
He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth;
He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder;
He burneth the chariots in the fire.
{Or, Let be}Be still, and know that I am God:
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
Jehovah of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our {Or, high tower}refuge.
[Selah

He sent from on high, he took me;He drew me out of {Or, great}many waters;
He delivered me from my strong enemy,From them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
They came upon me in the day of my calamity;But Jehovah was my stay.
He brought me forth also into a large place;He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High {Or, That abideth…Almighty; Even I &c.}Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress;My God, in whom I trust.
For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,And from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover thee with his pinions,And under his wings shalt thou take refuge:His truth is a shield and a buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night,Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
For the pestilence that walketh in darkness,Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side,And ten thousand at thy right hand;But it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold,And see the reward of the wicked.
{Or, Because thou hast said, Jehovah is my refuge}For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge!Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;
I cried unto thee, O Jehovah;I said, Thou art my refuge,My portion in the land of the living.
In the fear of Jehovah is strong confidence;And {Or, the children of him that hath it}his children shall have a place of refuge.
The name of Jehovah is a strong tower;The righteous runneth into it, and {Hebrew: is set on high.}is safe.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her own brood under her wings, and ye would not!
that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us:
