1GOD is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in times of trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth shakes,
and the mountains collapse into the depths of the sea;
3 though its waters roar and foam,
and the mountains quake with its tumult. Selah
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the City of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;
God will help her when the morning dawns.
6 The nations are in uproar, the kingdoms fall;
He utters His voice, the earth melts.
7 The LORD of Hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah
8 Come, behold the works of the LORD,
the desolations He has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth;
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
He burns the chariots with fire.
10 “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 of Hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
