1 לַֽמְנַצֵּ֥חַ לִבְנֵי־קֹ֑רַח עַל־עֲלָמ֥וֹת שִֽׁיר: La-me-nat-tsé-akh liv-néi Ko-rákh al a-la-mót shír. To the Chief Musician. Of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A Song.
2 אֱלֹהִים לָנוּ מַחֲסֶה וָעֹז עֶזְרָה בְצָרוֹת נִמְצָא מְאֹד E-lo-hím lá-nu makh-séh va-óz; ez-ráh ve-tza-rót nim-tzá me-ód. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
3 עַל־כֵּן לֹא־נִירָא בְּהָמִיר אָרֶץ וּבְמוֹט הָרִים בְּלֵב יַמִּים Al kén lo ni-rá be-ha-mír a-réts; u-ve-mot harím be-lév ya-m-mím. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea.
4 יֶהֱמוּ יֶחְמְרוּ מֵימָיו יִרְעֲשׁוּ־הָרִים בְּגַאֲוָתוֹ סֶלָה Yeh-e-mú yekh-me-rú me-méi-av; yir-a-ashú harím be-ga-a-va-tó. Sé-lah. Though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah.
5 נָהָר פְּלָגָיו יְשַׂמְּחוּ עִיר־אֱלֹהִים קְדֹשׁ מִשְׁכְּנֵי עֶלְיוֹן Na-hár pe-lá-gav ye-sa-me-khú ír E-lo-hím; ke-dosh mish-kan el-yón. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High.
6 אֱלֹהִים בְּקִרְבָּהּ בַּל־תִּמּוֹט יַעְזְרֶהָ אֱלֹהִים לִפְנוֹת בֹּקֶר E-lo-hím be-kir-báh bal ti-mót; ya-a-ze-ré-ha E-lo-hím li-fe-nót bó-ker. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.
7 הָמוּ גוֹיִם מָטוּ מַמְלָכוֹת נָתַן בְּקוֹלוֹ תָּמוּג אָרֶץ Ha-mú go-yím ma-tú mam-la-khót; na-tán be-kó-lo ta-múg a-réts. The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; He utters His voice, the earth melts.
8 יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת עִמָּנוּ מִשְׂגָּב־לָנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב סֶלָה Ado-nái tze-va-ót im-má-nu; mis-gáv lá-nu E-lo-héi Ya-a-kóv. Sé-lah. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah.
9 לְכוּ־חֲזוּ מִפְעֲלוֹת יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר־שָׂם שַׁמּוֹת בָּאָרֶץ Le-khú kha-zú mif-a-lót Ado-nái; a-shér sam she-ma-mót ba-á-rets. Come, behold the works of the LORD, how He has brought desolations on the earth.
10 מַשְׁבִּית מִלְחָמוֹת עַד־קְצֵה הָאָרֶץ קֶשֶׁת יְשַׁבֵּר וְקִצֵּץ חֲנִית עֲגָלוֹת יִשְׂרֹף בָּאֵשׁ Mash-bít mil-kha-mót ad ke-tzéh ha-á-rets; ka-shét ye-shab-bér ve-ki-tzétz kha-nít; a-ga-lót yis-róf ba-ésh. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the chariots with fire.
11 הַרְפּוּ וּדְעוּ כִּי־אָנֹכִי אֱלֹהִים אָרוּם בַּגּוֹיִם אָרוּם בָּאָרֶץ Har-pú u-de-ú ki a-nó-khi E-lo-hím; a-rúm ba-go-yím a-rúm ba-á-rets. ‘Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!’
12 יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת עִמָּנוּ מִשְׂגָּב־לָנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב סֶלָה Ado-nái tze-va-ót im-má-nu; mis-gáv lá-nu E-lo-héi Ya-a-kóv. Sé-lah. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah.
