1 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth. God [is] our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

For the choirmaster. Of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble.

2 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth shall be removed, and though the mountains shall be carried into the midst of the sea;

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth is transformed and the mountains are toppled into the depths of the seas,

3 [Though] its waters shall roar [and] be disturbed, [though] the mountains shake with the swelling of it. (Selah)

though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge.

4 [There is] a river, the streams of which shall make glad the city of God, the holy [place] of the tabernacles of the Most High.

There is a river whose streams delight the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.

5 God [is] in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, [and that] right early.

God is within her; she will not be moved. God will help her when morning dawns.

6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

Nations rage, kingdoms crumble; the earth melts when He lifts His voice.

7 The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is] our refuge. (Selah)

The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.

Come, see the works of the LORD, who brings devastation upon the earth.

9 He maketh wars to cease to the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear asunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.

He makes wars to cease throughout the earth; He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the shields in the fire.

10 Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

“Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted over the earth.”

11 The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is] our refuge. (Selah)

The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
