2 Elohim is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in tzoros.
3 Therefore we will not fear,
though eretz be shaken,
and though the harim (mountains) fall
into the lev yamim (heart of the seas);
4 Though the mayim thereof roar and be troubled,
though the harim shake with the surging thereof.
Selah
5 There is a nahar (river), the streams whereof shall make glad the Ir Elohim,
the Kedosh Mishkenei Elyon (the holy dwelling of the Most High).
6 Elohim is in the midst of it;† it shall not be moved;
Elohim shall help it at early boker.
7 The Goyim raged, the kingdoms totter;
He uttered His voice, eretz melted.
8 Hashem Tzva'os is with us;
Elohei Ya'akov is our stronghold.
Selah
9 Come, behold the works of Hashem,
what desolations He hath made in ha'aretz.
10 He maketh milchamot to cease unto the end of ha'aretz;
He breaketh the keshet (bow), and cutteth the khanit (spear);
He burneth the chariots in the eish.
11 Be still, and know that I am Elohim:
I will be exalted among the Goyim,
I will be exalted in ha'aretz.
12 Hashem Tzva'os is with us;
Elohei Ya'akov is our stronghold.
