1 God is our shelter and strength,always ready to help in times of trouble.
2 So we will not be afraid, even if the earth is shakenand mountains fall into the ocean depths;
3 even if the seas roar and rage,and the hills are shaken by the violence.
4 There is a river that brings joy to the city of God,to the sacred house of the Most High.
5 God is in that city, and it will never be destroyed;at early dawn he will come to its aid.
6 Nations are terrified, kingdoms are shaken;God thunders, and the earth dissolves.
7 The Lord Almighty is with us;the God of Jacob is our refuge.
