1God is our refuge and strength, *a very present help in trouble.
2Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be moved, *and though the mountains be toppled into the depths of the sea;
3Though its waters rage and foam, *and though the mountains tremble at its tumult.
4The Lord of hosts is with us; *the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
5There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, *the holy habitation of the Most High.
6God is in the midst of her;
she shall not be overthrown; *God shall help her at the break of day.
7The nations make much ado, and the kingdoms are shaken; *God has spoken, and the earth shall melt away.
8The Lord of hosts is with us; *the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
9Come now and look upon the works of the Lord, *what awesome things he has done on earth.
10It is he who makes war to cease in all the world; *he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear,
and burns the shields with fire.
11“Be still, then, and know that I am God; *I will be exalted among the nations;
I will be exalted in the earth.”
12The Lord of hosts is with us; *the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
