1 God is our refuge and strength,

A *very ready help in *trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth shakes

And the mountains slip into the heart of the *sea;

3 Though its waters roar and foam,

Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Selah

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

The holy dwelling places of the Most High.

5 God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;

God will help her *when morning dawns.

6 The *nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;

He *raised His voice, the earth quaked.

7 The Lord of armies is with us;

The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah

8 Come, behold the works of the Lord,

*Who has inflicted horrific events on the earth.

9 He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;

He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;

He burns the chariots with fire.

10 "*Stop striving and know that I am God;

I will be exalted among the *nations, I will be exalted on the earth."

11 The Lord of armies is with us;

The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah
