[1] God is our protection and source of strength. He is always ready to help us in times of trouble. [2] So we are not afraid when the earth quakes and the mountains fall into the sea. [3] We are not afraid when the seas become rough and dark and the mountains tremble. Selah [4] There is a river whose streams bring happiness to God's city, to the holy city of God Most High. [5] God is in that city, so it will never be destroyed. He is there to help even before sunrise. [6] Nations will shake with fear and kingdoms will fall when God shouts and makes the earth move. [7] The LORD All-Powerful is with us. The God of Jacob is our place of safety. Selah [8] Look at the powerful things the LORD has done. See the awesome things he has done on earth. [9] He stops wars all over the world. He breaks the soldiers' bows, shatters their spears, and burns their shields. [10] God says, "Stop fighting and know that I am God! I am the one who defeats the nations; I am the one who controls the world." [11] The LORD All-Powerful is with us. The God of Jacob is our place of safety. Selah
