[1] God is our protection and our strength. He always helps in times of trouble. [2] So we will not be afraid if the earth shakes, or if the mountains fall into the sea. [3] We will not fear even if the oceans roar and foam, or if the mountains shake at the raging sea. Selah [4] There is a river which brings joy to the city of God. This is the holy place where God Most High lives. [5] God is in that city, and so it will not be shaken. God will help her at dawn. [6] Nations tremble, and kingdoms shake. God shouts, and the earth crumbles. [7] The Lord of heaven's armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our protection. Selah [8] Come and see what the Lord has done. He has done amazing things on the earth. [9] He stops wars everywhere on the earth. He breaks all bows and spears and burns up the chariots with fire. [10] God says, "Be still and know that I am God. I will be praised in all the nations. I will be praised throughout the earth." [11] The Lord of heaven's armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our protection. Selah
