God the Refuge of His People and Conqueror of the Nations
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song aFor Alamoth.
1 God is our brefuge and strength, cA 1very present help in trouble.
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the 2midst of the sea;
3 dThough its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling.
Selah
4 There is a eriver whose streams shall make glad the fcity of God,
The holy place of the 3tabernacle of the Most High.
5 God is gin the midst of her, she shall not be 4moved;
God shall help her, just 5at the break of dawn.
6 hThe nations raged, the kingdoms were moved;
He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
7 The iLord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah
8 Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has made desolations in the earth.
9 jHe makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
kHe breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
lHe burns the chariot in the fire.
10 Be still, and know that I am God;
mI 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 refuge.
Selah

About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
