1. [Für den Chormeister. Von den Korachitern. Nach der Weise «Mädchen». Ein Lied.]

2. Gott ist uns Zuflucht und Stärke, / ein bewährter Helfer in allen Nöten.

3. and its waters roar and seethe, and the mountains totter as it heaves. (Yahweh Sabaoth is with us, our citadel, the God of Jacob.)Pause

3. Darum fürchten wir uns nicht, wenn die Erde auch wankt, / wenn Berge stürzen in die Tiefe des Meeres,

4. There is a river whose streams bring joy to God's city, it sanctifies the dwelling of the Most High.

5. God is in the city, it cannot fall; at break of day God comes to its rescue.

5. Die Wasser eines Stromes erquicken die Gottesstadt, / des Höchsten heilige Wohnung.

6. Gott ist in ihrer Mitte, darum wird sie niemals wanken; / Gott hilft ihr, wenn der Morgen anbricht.
