1 G od is our safe place and our strength. He is always our help when we are in trouble.

2 S o we will not be afraid, even if the earth is shaken and the mountains fall into the center of the sea,

3 a nd even if its waters go wild with storm and the mountains shake with its action.

4 T here is a river whose waters make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High lives.

5 G od is in the center of her. She will not be moved. God will help her when the morning comes.

6 T he people made noise. The nations fell. He raised His voice and the earth melted.

7 T he Lord of All is with us. The God of Jacob is our strong place.

8 C ome and see the works of the Lord. He has destroyed parts of the earth.

9 H e stops wars to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two. He burns the war-wagons with fire.

10 B e quiet and know that I am God. I will be honored among the nations. I will be honored in the earth.

11 T he Lord of All is with us. The God of Jacob is our strong place.
