1God is our refuge and strength,

a very presentj help in trouble.*

2Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change,

though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea,*

3though its waters roar and foam,

though the mountains tremble with its tumult.   Selah*

4There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,

the holy habitation of the Most High.*

5God is in the midst of the city;k it shall not be moved;

God will help it when the morning dawns.*

6The nations are in an uproar; the kingdoms totter;

he utters his voice; the earth melts.*

7The Lord of hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our refuge.l   Selah*

8Come, behold the works of the Lord;

see what desolations he has brought on the earth.*

9He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;

he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;

he burns the shields with fire.*

10“Be still, and know that I am God!

I am exalted among the nations;

I am exalted in the earth.”*

11The Lord of hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our refuge.m   Selah
