God Is Our Refuge and Our Strength

  1. God is our refuge and our strength,
    ever-present aid;
    and therefore, though the earth gives way,
    we will not be afraid.
    Though mountains fall into the sea,
    though waters foam and roar,
    we will not fear, though mountains quake
    as waves engulf the shore.
  2. A river flows, whose streams delight
    the city of our God—
    the holy place where God the LORD
    Most High makes his abode.
    Since God is in her holy midst,
    the city will not move,
    for God will come at break of day;
    her helper he will prove.
  3. The nations rage, the kingdoms shake,
    when God in might appears.
    He speaks, and at his mighty voice
    the whole earth melts in fear.
    The LORD of hosts, Almighty God,
    is with us to the end,
    the God of Jacob is for us
    a fortress and defense.
  4. O come, behold the mighty works
    that God the LORD has wrought,
    the fearsome desolations he
    to all the lands has brought.
    He causes wars to cease on earth;
    he breaks the bow and spear.
    The LORD ignites the chariots
    to burn in blazing fire.
  5. Be still, and know that I am God,
    on earth exalted high;
    and all the nations of the world
    my name will glorify.
    The LORD of hosts, Almighty God,
    is with us to the end;
    the God of Jacob is for us
    a fortress and defense.
