New King James Version

International Standard Version

1To the Chief Musician. [i]A Psalm[/i] of the sons of Korah. A Song for Alamoth. God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

1God is our refuge and strength, a great help in times of distress.

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

2Therefore we will not be frightened when the earth roars, when the mountains shake in the depths of the seas,

3Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah

3when its waters roar and rage, when the mountains tremble despite their pride. Interlude

4There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.

4Look! There is a river whose streams make the city of God rejoice, even the Holy Place of the Most High.

5God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.

5Since God is in her midst, she will not be shaken. God will help her at the break of dawn.

6The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.

6The nations roared; the kingdoms were shaken. His voice boomed; the earth melts.

7The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

7The LORD of the heavenly armies is with us; our refuge is the God of Jacob. Interlude

8Come, behold the works of the LORD, Who has made desolations in the earth.

8Come, observe the mighty works of the LORD, who causes desolation in the earth.

9He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire.

9He causes wars to cease all over the earth, he causes the bow to break, the spear to snap, the chariots to ignite and burn.

10Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

10Be in awe and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted throughout the earth.

11The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

11The LORD of the heavenly armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Interlude
