[For the end, for the sons of Core; a Psalm concerning secret things.][1]God is our refuge and strength, a help in the afflictions that have come heavily upon us.[2]Therefore will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed into the depths of the seas.[3]Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by his might. Pause.[4]The flowings of the river gladden the city of God: the Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.[5]God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her with his countenance.[6]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 helper. Pause.[8]Come, and behold the works of the Lord, what wonders he has achieved on the earth.[9]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 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 helper.
