1 

God is our refuge and strength,

a very present help in trouble.

2 

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change,

though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea;

3 

though its waters roar and foam,

though the mountains tremble with its tumult.

4 

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,

the holy habitation of the Most High.

5 

God is in the midst of the city; it shall not be moved;

God will help it when the morning dawns.

6 

The nations are in an uproar, the kingdoms totter;

he utters his voice, the earth melts.

7 

The Lord of hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our refuge.

8 

Come, behold the works of the Lord;

see what desolations he has brought on the earth.

9 

He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;

he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear;

he burns the shields with fire.

10 

“Be still, and know that I am God!

I am exalted among the nations,

I am exalted in the earth.”

11 

The Lord of hosts is with us;    

the God of Jacob is our refuge.
