1God is our refuge and strength , a very present help in trouble . 2Therefore will not we fear , though the earth be removed , and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea ; 3Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled , though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah .
The Earth’s Turmoil and God’s Sovereignty
4There is a river , the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God , the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High . 5God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved : God shall help her, and that right early . 6The heathen raged , the kingdoms were moved : he uttered his voice , the earth melted . 7The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge . Selah .
The Lord of Hosts is With Us
8Come , behold the works of the LORD , what desolations he hath made in the earth . 9He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth ; he breaketh the bow , and cutteth the spear in sunder ; he burneth the chariot in the fire . 10Be still , and know that I am God : I will be exalted among the heathen , I will be exalted in the earth . 11The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge . Selah .
