God is Our Refuge and Strength

1 God is our refuge and our strength, a present help in our distress. 2 We will not therefore be afraid though all the earth should be removed, though mountains great be hurled into the ocean’s depths, 3 though seas may roar and foam and billows shake the shore, though mountains tremble at their power. 4 A river brings refreshing streams to cheer the city of our God, the Most High’s holy dwelling place. 5 God is in her; she won’t be moved; at dawn will God help her. 6 The nations rage; realms quake; he lifts his voice; earth melts. 7 The LORD of hosts with us! Our fortress strong is Jacob’s God. 8 O come, see what the LORD has done: ’midst desolation brought on earth; 9 on earth he puts an end to wars, breaks bow and spear, and chariots burns. 10 Be still! Know I am God. exalted o’er nations, exalted o’er all earth. 11 The LORD of hosts with us! Our fortress strong is Jacob’s God. – Book of Psalms for Worship, alt.
