God is our hope and strength  *

a very present help in trouble.

Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be moved *

and though the hills be carried into the midst of the sea;

Though the waters thereof rage and swell *

and though the mountains shake at the tempest of the same.

The rivers of the flood thereof shall make glad the city of God *

the holy place of the tabernacle of the most Highest.

God is in the midst of her, therefore shall she not be removed *

God shall help her, and that right early.

The heathen make much ado, and the kingdoms are moved *

but God hath shewed his voice, and the earth shall melt away.

The Lord of hosts is with us *

the God of Jacob is our refuge.

O come hither, and behold the works of the Lord *

what destruction he hath brought upon the earth.

He maketh wars to cease in all the world *

he breaketh the bow, and knappeth the spear in sunder, and burneth the chariots in the fire.

Be still then, and know that I am God *

I will be exalted among the heathen, and I will be exalted in the earth.

The Lord of hosts is with us *

the God of Jacob is our refuge.

Her foundations are upon the holy hills  *

the Lord loveth the gates of Sion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Very excellent things are spoken of thee *

thou city of God.

I will think upon Rahab and Babylon *

with them that know me.

Behold ye the Philistines also *

and they of Tyre, with the Morians; lo, there was he born.

And of Sion it shall be reported that he was born in her *

and the most High shall stablish her.

The Lord shall rehearse it when he writeth up the people *

that he was born there.

The singers also and trumpeters shall he rehearse *

All my fresh springs shall be in thee.
