God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble.
2
That is why we are not afraid even when the earth quakes or the mountains topple into the depths of the sea.
3
ater roars and foams, and mountains shake at the surging waves. Selah
4
There is a river whose streams bring joy to the city of God, the holy place where the Most High lives.
5
God is in that city. It cannot fall. God will help it at the break of dawn.
6
Nations are in turmoil, and kingdoms topple. The earth melts at the sound of [God's] voice.
7
he LORD of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah
8
Come, see the works of the LORD, the devastation he has brought to the earth.
9
He puts an end to wars all over the earth. He breaks an archer's bow. He cuts spears in two. He burns chariots.
10
Let go [of your concerns]! Then you will know that I am God. I rule the nations. I rule the earth.
11
he LORD of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah
