God is Our Refuge and Strength

(2 Kings 18:13-16; 2 Chronicles 32:1-8; Psalm 47:1-9; Psalm 48:1-14)

1{{To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth. }} God [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;

3[Though] the waters thereof roar [and] be troubled, [though] the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

4[There 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.

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.
