[1] God is our shelter and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. [2] So we will not be afraid, even if the earth is shaken and mountains fall into the ocean depths; [3] even if the seas roar and rage, and the hills are shaken by the violence. [4] There is a river that brings joy to the city of God, to the sacred house of the Most High. [5] God is in that city, and it will never be destroyed; at early dawn he will come to its aid. [6] Nations are terrified, kingdoms are shaken; God thunders, and the earth dissolves. [7] The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. [8] Come and see what the LORD has done. See what amazing things he has done on earth. [9] He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows, destroys spears, and sets shields on fire. [10] "Stop fighting," he says, "and know that I am God, supreme among the nations, supreme over the world." [11] The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.
