God is our refuge end our strength,
our ever-present help in distress.
Though the earth trembles,
and mountains slide into the sea,
we have no fear.
Waters foam and roar,
and mountains shake at their surging;
but the God of hosts is with us-
our stronghold, the God of Israel.
There is a river
whose streams give joy to the city of God,
the holy dwelling of the Most High.
God is in its midst; it stands firm.
God will aid it at the break of day.
Even if nations are in chaos, and kingdoms fall,
God's voice resounds; the earth melts away.

Yahweh is with us;
the God of Israel is our stronghold.
Come! See the deeds of the Most High,
the marvelous things God has done on earth;
all over the world, God has stopped wars-
breaking bows, splintering spears,
burning the shields with fire.
"Be still! And know that I am God,
exalted among the nations, exalted upon the earth.
The Most High is with us;
Our stronghold is the God of Israel.
Glory be to God our Creator,
To Jesus the Christ.
And to the Holy Spirit who dwells in our midst,
Both now and forever. Amen
