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

The mountains skipped like rams,The little hills like lambs.
What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest?Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?
Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams;Ye little hills, like lambs?
Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord,At the presence of the God of Jacob,
The floods have lifted up, O Jehovah,The floods have lifted up their voice;The floods lift up their {Or, roaring}waves.
Jehovah, when thou wentest forth out of Seir,When thou marchedst out of the field of Edom,The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped,Yea, the clouds dropped water.

And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
Him that removeth the mountains, and they know it not,When he overturneth them in his anger;
Ah, the {Or, multitude}uproar of many peoples, that roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!
That shaketh the earth out of its place,And the pillars thereof tremble;

I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills {Or, moved lightly}moved to and fro.
Fear ye not me? saith Jehovah: will ye not tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, {Or, an everlasting ordinance which it cannot pass}by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it? and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it.
