God is our refuge and strength, * a very present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be moved, * and though the mountains be toppled into the depths of the sea;

Though its waters rage and foam, * and though the mountains tremble at its tumult.

The of hosts is with us; * the God of Jacob is our stronghold.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, * the holy habitation of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be overthrown; * God shall help her at the break of day.

The nations make much ado, and the kingdoms are shaken; * God has spoken, and the earth shall melt away.

The of hosts is with us; * the God of Jacob is our stronghold.

Come now and look upon the works of the, * what awesome things he has done on earth.

It is he who makes war to cease in all the world; * he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear, and burns the shields with fire.
