God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in times of trouble.
2
Therefore we will not fear,
though the earth is transformed
and the mountains are toppled
into the depths of the seas,
3
though their waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake in the surge.
Selah
4
There is a river whose streams delight the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5
God is within her; she will not be moved.
God will help her when morning dawns.
6
Nations rage, kingdoms crumble;
the earth melts when He lifts His voice.
7
The LORD of Hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah
8
Come, see the works of the LORD,
who brings devastation upon the earth.
9
He makes wars to cease throughout the earth;
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
He burns the shieldsb in the fire.
