1 ¶ God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in tribulation.

2 T herefore we will not fear, though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea,

3 t hough the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the violence thereof. Selah.

4 T here is a river, the streams of which shall make glad the city of God, the sanctuary of the tents of the most High.

5 G od is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God shall help her, as the morning dawns.

6 ¶ The Gentiles raged, the kingdoms were moved; he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

7 T he LORD of the hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

8 C ome, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he has made in the earth.

9 H e makes wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and cuts the spear in sunder; he burns the chariot in the fire.

10 B e still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted in the Gentiles, I will be exalted in the earth.

11 T he LORD of the hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
