To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth.

¹  God is our refuge and strength,

A very present help in trouble.

²  Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed,

And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

³  Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,

Though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

⁴  There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God,

The holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

⁵  God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved:

God shall help her, and that right early.

⁶  The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved:

He uttered his voice, the earth melted.

⁷  The Lord of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

⁸  Come, behold the works of the Lord,

What desolations he hath made in the earth.

⁹  He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth;

He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder;

He burneth the chariot 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.

¹¹  The Lord of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

And Israel for his peculiar treasure.

He bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.

⁸  Who smote the firstborn of Egypt,

Both of man and beast.

Upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

¹⁰  Who smote great nations,

And slew mighty kings;

¹¹  Sihon king of the Amorites,

And Og king of Bashan,

And all the kingdoms of Canaan:

¹²  And gave their land for an heritage,

An heritage unto Israel his people.

¹³  Thy name, O Lord, endureth for ever;

And ^bthy memorial, O Lord, throughout all generations.

¹⁴  For the Lord will judge his people,

And ^dhe will repent himself concerning his servants.

¹⁵  The idols of the heathen are silver and gold,

The work of men’s hands.

¹⁶  They have mouths, but they speak not;

Eyes have they, but they see not;

¹⁷  They have ears, but they hear not;

Neither is there any breath in their mouths.

¹⁸  They that make them are like unto them:

So is every one that trusteth in them.

¹⁹  Bless the Lord, O house of Israel:

Bless the Lord, O house of Aaron:

²⁰  Bless the Lord, O house of Levi:

Ye that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

²¹  Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem.

Praise ye the Lord.
