God Our Refuge

1God is our refuge and strength,

a helper who is always found

in times of trouble.#Ps 9:9; 62:7–8

2Therefore we will not be afraid,

though the earth trembles

and the mountains topple

into the depths of the seas,#Ps 18:7; 82:5

3though its water roars and foams

and the mountains quake with its turmoil.#Ps 93:3–4; Jr 5:22Selah

4There is a river —

its streams delight the city of God,

the holy dwelling place of the Most High.#Ps 43:3; Rv 22:1–2

5God is within her; she will not be toppled.

God will help her when the morning dawns.#Is 12:6; Zch 2:10–11

6Nations rage, kingdoms topple;

the earth melts when he lifts his voice.#Ps 2:1; Jr 25:30

7The Lord of Armies is with us;

the God of Jacob is our stronghold.#Ps 9:9; Jl 3:16Selah

8Come, see the works of the Lord,

who brings devastation on the earth.#Ps 66:5

9He makes wars cease throughout the earth.

He shatters bows and cuts spears to pieces;

he sets wagons ablaze.#Ps 76:3; Is 2:4; Mc 4:3

10“Stop fighting, and know that I am God,

exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth.”#Ps 100:3; Is 2:11,17

the God of Jacob is our stronghold.#Ps 9:9; Jl 3:16Selah
