[1] God is our mighty fortress, always ready to help in times of trouble. [2] And so, we won't be afraid! Let the earth tremble and the mountains tumble into the deepest sea. [3] Let the ocean roar and foam, and its raging waves shake the mountains. [4] A river and its streams bring joy to the city, which is the sacred home of God Most High. [5] God is in that city, and it won't be shaken. He will help it at dawn. [6] Nations rage! Kingdoms fall! But at the voice of God the earth itself melts. [7] The LORD All-Powerful is with us. The God of Jacob is our fortress. [8] Come! See the fearsome things the LORD has done on earth. [9] God brings wars to an end all over the world. He breaks the arrows, shatters the spears, and burns the shields. [10] Our God says, "Calm down, and learn that I am God! All nations on earth will honor me." [11] The LORD All-Powerful is with us. The God of Jacob is our fortress.
