1For the worship leader. By the sons of Korah. Set to 'Alamoth'. God is our safe place and our strength; he is always ready to help in times of trouble.
2So we won't be afraid, even if the earth crumbles and the mountains fall into the depths of the sea;
3even if its waters roar and foam, and the mountains shake from its surging. Think about that.
4There is a river whose streams bring joy to the city of God, the holy dwelling place of the Most High.
5God is in that city; it will not be shaken. God will help it at dawn.
6Nations raged, and kingdoms fell. God raised his voice, and the earth melted.
7Yahweh, Commander of Armies, is with us. The God of Jacob is our safe place. Think about that.
8Come and see what Yahweh has done, the terrible things he has brought upon the earth.
9He stops wars all over the world. He breaks the bow, smashes the spear, and burns the chariots with fire.
10He says, “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be honored among the nations. I will be honored throughout the earth.”
11Yahweh, Commander of Armies, is with us. The God of Jacob is our safe place. Think about that.
