1For the leader. Of the Korahites, on alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2So we have no fear, though earth should change, and the hills totter into the heart of the ocean.
3Let its waters roar and foam, let the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. On our side is the Lord of hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob. Selah
4A river there is, whose streams make glad God's city, the home the Most High has hallowed.
5God is within her: she cannot be shaken. God helps her at the turn of the morning.
