תהילים מו

For the leader. Of the Korahites; alamoth. Meaning of Heb. uncertain. A song.

God is our refuge and stronghold,
a help in trouble, very near.

Therefore we are not afraid
though the earth reels,
though mountains topple into the sea—

its waters rage and foam;
in its swell mountains quake.    Selah.

There is a river whose streams gladden God’s city,
the holy dwelling-place of the Most High.

God is in its midst, it will not be toppled;
by daybreak God will come to its aid.

Nations rage, kingdoms topple;
at the sound of God’s thunder the earth dissolves.

GOD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our haven.    Selah.

Come and see what GOD has done,
how devastation has been wrought on the earth.

[God] puts a stop to wars throughout the earth,
breaking the bow, snapping the spear,
consigning wagons to the flames.

“Desist! Realize that I am God!
I dominate the nations;
I dominate the earth.”

GOD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our haven.    Selah.
