Refrain:
The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold.

1 God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth should change,
though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea;
3 though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble with its tumult. (R)

4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy habitation of the Most High.
5 God is in the midst of the city, it shall not be moved;
God will help it when the morning dawns.

6 The nations are in an uproar, the kingdoms totter;
He utters His voice, the earth melts. (R)

7 The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.

8. Come, behold the works of the Lord;
see what desolations He has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear;
He burns the shields with fire. (R)

10 "Be still, and know that I am God!
I am exalted among the nations,
I am exalted in the earth."

11 The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge. (R)
