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 hills be carried into the midst of the sea;

Though its waters rage and swell, *

and though the mountains shake at its tempest.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, *

the holy dwelling place of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her; therefore she shall not be moved. *

God shall help her at the break of day.

The nations are in an uproar, and the kingdoms are moved, *

but God has lifted his voice, and the earth shall melt away.

The Lord of hosts is with us; *

the God of Jacob is our refuge.

O come and behold the works of the Lord, *

what devastations he has brought upon the earth.

He makes wars to cease in all the world; *

he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear, and burns the chariots in the fire.

“Be still then and know that I am God; *

I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.”

The Lord of hosts is with us; *

the God of Jacob is our refuge.

O clap your hands together, all you peoples; *

O cry aloud unto God with shouts of joy.

For the Lord Most High is to be feared; *

he is the great King over all the earth.

He shall subdue the peoples under us, *

and the nations under our feet.

He shall choose our inheritance for us, *

the pride of Jacob whom he loved.

God has gone up with a shout of triumph, *

the Lord with the sound of the trumpet.

O sing praises, sing praises unto our God; *

O sing praises, sing praises unto our King.

For God is the King of all the earth; *

think upon his mighty acts and praise him with a song.

God reigns over the nations; *

God sits on his holy throne.

The princes of the peoples are gathered with the people of the God of Abraham; *

for the mighty upon earth have become the servants of the Lord, and he is very highly exalted.
