1To the Overseer.—By sons of Korah. ‘For the Virgins.’—A song. God is to us a refuge and strength, A help in adversities found most surely.

2Therefore we fear not in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.

3Roar—troubled are its waters, Mountains they shake in its pride. Selah.
