Superscription [for the music
leader; of the Korahites;
according to Alamoth; a song]
God is our refuge and strength,
a help always near in times of
great trouble.
That's why we won't be afraid
when the world falls apart,
when the mountains crumble
into the center of the sea,
when its waters roar and rage,
when the mountains shake
because of its surging waves.
There is a river whose streams
gladden God's city,
the holiest dwelling of the Most High.
God is in that city. It will never
crumble. God will help it when
morning dawns.
Nations roar; kingdoms crumble.
God utters his voice; the earth melts.
The Lord of heavenly forces is
with us! The God of Jacob is our
place of safety.
Come, see the Lord's deeds,
what devastation he has imposted
on the earth -- bringing wars
to an end in every corner of the
world, breaking the bow and
shattering the spear, burning
chariots with fire.
THAT's ENOUGH! NOW KNOW THAT I
AM GOD! I AM EXALTED AMONG
ALL NATIONS; I AM EXALTED THROUGH-
OUT THE WORLD!
The Lord of heavenly forces is
with us! The God of Jacob is our
place of safety.
