1God is our refuge and strength,
A helper most present in need.
2Therefore we will not fear,
Not even though earth starts to shake!
Even though mountains move into the heart,
To the heart of the seas, 3and its waters roar:
They will roar! and they will foam!
Mountains quake at its swelling pride.
4There is a river whose streams
Bring joy to the city of God,
A sanctified dwelling place
Of he who is high above all!
5God remains in her midst; she won’t be moved.
God will give help to her when the morning dawns:
6Nations roar! The kingdoms move!
Earth dissolves as he sends his voice!
7The LORD of hosts, the LORD is right here with us!
Our fortress, our fortress Jacob’s God!
8Come and behold all the works
The LORD has done, how he has brought
Desolations on earth.
9To the end of earth he makes wars cease,
Breaks the bow, cracks the spear, and with a fire
Burns the chariots. 10“Be still! Know that I am God!
I’ll be exalted above the nations!
I’ll be exalted over all the earth!”
11The LORD of hosts, the LORD is right here with us!
Our fortress, our fortress Jacob’s God!
