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.

The Lord is King, the earth may be glad thereof  *

yea, the multitude of the isles may be glad thereof.

Clouds and darkness are round about him *

righteousness and judgement are the habitation of his seat.

There shall go a fire before him *

and burn up his enemies on every side.

His lightnings gave shine unto the world *

the earth saw it, and was afraid.

The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord *

at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

The heavens have declared his righteousness *

and all the people have seen his glory.

Confounded be all they that worship carved images, and that delight in vain gods *

worship him, all ye gods.

Sion heard of it, and rejoiced *

and the daughters of Judah were glad, because of thy judgements, O Lord.

For thou, Lord, art higher than all that are in the earth *

thou art exalted far above all gods.

O ye that love the Lord, see that ye hate the thing which is evil *

the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of the ungodly.

There is sprung up a light for the righteous *

and joyful gladness for such as are true-hearted.

Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous *

and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.
