1 Unto the end. To the sons of Korah, for confidants. A Psalm. Our God is our refuge and strength, a helper in the tribulations that have greatly overwhelmed us.

For the end, for the sons of Core; a Psalm concerning secret things. God is our refuge and strength, a help in the afflictions that have come heavily upon us.

2 Because of this, we will not be afraid when the earth will be turbulent and the mountains will be transferred into the heart of the sea.

Therefore will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed into the depths of the seas.

3 They thundered, and the waters were stirred up among them; the mountains have been disturbed by his strength.

Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by his might. (Pause)

4 The frenzy of the river rejoices the city of God. The Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.

The flowings of the river gladden the city of God: the Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.

5 God is in its midst; it will not be shaken. God will assist it in the early morning.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her with his countenance.

6 The peoples have been disturbed, and the kingdoms have been bowed down. He uttered his voice: the earth has been moved.

The nations were troubled, the kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, the earth shook.

7 The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our supporter.

The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper. (Pause)

8 Draw near and behold the works of the Lord: what portents he has set upon the earth,

Come, and behold the works of the Lord, what wonders he has achieved on the earth.

9 carrying away wars even to the end of the earth. He will crush the bow and break the weapons, and he will burn the shield with fire.

Putting an end to wars as for the ends of the earth; he will crush the bow, and break in pieces the weapon, and burn the bucklers with fire.

10 Be empty, and see that I am God. I will be exalted among the peoples, and I will be exalted upon the earth.

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

11 The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our supporter.

The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper.
