1 God is our refuge and our strength,
in Him our hope is found;
an ever-present help in need,
when trouble is around.
2 Therefore, we will not fear, though earth
should tremble and give way;
though mountains fall into the sea,
He's still our help and stay;
3 Though waters roar and foam with power,
and tempests make us shake;
though surging waters even cause
the mountain peaks to quake.
4 There is a river that makes glad
the city of our God;
the holy place where the Most High
does dwell and reign abroad.
5 God is within her; she stands firm
and will not fall away;
and God will surely give her help
when comes the break of day.
6 All nations are in uproar as
their kingdoms rise and fall;
He lifts His voice, and all earth melts
before His mighty call.
7 The LORD Almighty is with us,
He is our refuge sure.
The God of Jacob is our trust,
our fortress evermore.
8 Come, see the works the LORD has done,
the desolations here.
He makes wars cease to ends of earth,
and breaks the bow and spear.
9 “Be still, and know that I am God,
exalted I will be!
Among all nations, all the earth,
exalted I will be!”
10 The LORD Almighty is with us,
He is our refuge sure.
The God of Jacob is our trust,
our fortress evermore
