1 God is our refuge and strength, ♦︎
a very present help in trouble;
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be moved, ♦︎
and though the mountains tremble in the heart of the sea;
3 Though the waters rage and swell, ♦︎
and though the mountains quake at the towering seas.
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, ♦︎
the holy place of the dwelling of the Most High.
5 God is in the midst of her;
therefore shall she not be removed; ♦︎
God shall help her at the break of day.
6 The nations are in uproar and the kingdoms are shaken, ♦︎
but God utters his voice and the earth shall melt away.
7 The Lord of hosts is with us; ♦︎
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
8 Come and behold the works of the Lord, ♦︎
what destruction he has wrought upon the earth.
