A Song.

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.Selah

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 her, she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.

6

The nations rage, 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.Selah

8

Come, behold the works of the Lord, how he has wrought desolations in the earth.

9

He makes wars cease to the end 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 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.Selah
