Commentary on Psalms - Volume 5

To the Chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. Upon Alamoth. A Song

1God is to us a protection and strength; A help in troubles he is found exceedingly.

2Therefore we will not fear when moved shall be the earth, And fall shall the mountains into the heart of the sea.

3[When] roar and rage tempestuously shall the waters thereof; [When] shake shall the mountains with the swelling thereof. Selah.

4The streams of her river shall make glad the city of God, The Sanctuary of the tabernacles of the Most High.

5God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: Help her will God at the dawn of the morning.

6Rage did the peoples, moved were the kingdoms: He uttered his voice, melt did the earth.

7Jehovah of armies is with us; A fortress for us is the God of Jacob. Selah.

8Come ye, consider the works of Jehovah, What desolations he hath wrought in the earth.

9He maketh to cease battles, even to the ends of the earth; He breaketh the bow, he shattereth in pieces the arms; The chariot he burneth with fire.

10Be still and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen; I will be exalted in the earth.

11Jehovah of armies is with us; A fortress for us is the God of Jacob. Selah.
