1 God is our refuge and strength,an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give wayand the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foamand the mountains quake with their surging.
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
7 The Lord Almighty is with us;the God of Jacob is our fortress.
8 Come and see what the Lord has done,the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars ceaseto the ends of the earth.He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;he burns the shields with fire.
10 He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God;I will be exalted among the nations,I will be exalted in the earth.’
11 The Lord Almighty is with us;the God of Jacob is our fortress.
