God
is our refuge and strength,
a
very present help in trouble.
Therefore,
we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes,
though
the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;
though
its waters roar and are troubled,
though
the mountains tremble with their swelling.
There
is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad,
the
holy place of the tents of the Most High.
God
is within her. She shall not be moved.
God
will help her at dawn.
The
nations raged. The kingdoms were moved.
He
lifted his voice and the earth melted.
Yahweh
of Armies is with us.
The
God of Jacob is our refuge.
Come,
see Yahweh’s works,
what
desolations he has made in the earth.
He
makes wars cease to the end of the earth.
He
breaks the bow and shatters the spear.
He
burns the chariots in the fire.
“Be
still and know that I am God.
I
will be exalted among the nations.
I
will be exalted in the earth.”
Yahweh
of Armies is with us.
The
God of Jacob is our refuge.
Psalm 46
