The sons of Korah wrote this special song for the music leader.

The city of God[a]

46 God is a strong place for us,
    where he will keep us safe.
He will always help us
    when troubles come.
So even when the earth shakes,
    we will not be afraid.
And when the mountains fall down
    into the deep sea,
we will still not be afraid.
