1 God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.
1
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea.
2
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge! Interlude
3
Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
4 A river brings joy to the city of our God, the sacred home of the Most High.
4
There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5 God dwells in that city; it cannot be destroyed. From the very break of day, God will protect it.
5
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
6 The nations are in chaos, and their kingdoms crumble! God’s voice thunders, and the earth melts!

The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

8 Come, see the glorious works of the LORD : See how he brings destruction upon the world.
8
Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9 He causes wars to end throughout the earth. He breaks the bow and snaps the spear; he burns the shields with fire.
9
He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
10 “Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”
10
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
