For the music leader. Of the Korahites. According to Alamoth.^[a] A song.

46 God is our refuge and strength,
    a help always near in times of great trouble.

    when the mountains crumble into the center of the sea,
³    when its waters roar and rage,
    when the mountains shake because of its surging waves. Selah
