1
God is our protection and our strength; always ready to help when troubles come.
2
So we will not be afraid though the earth shakes, though the mountains fall into the depths of the sea,
3
though the waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble as the waters surge violently! Selah.
4
A river flows to bring happiness to those in God's city, the holy place where the Most High lives.
5
God is in the midst of the city; it will never fall. God protects it as soon as it is light.*
6
Nations are in turmoil, kingdoms collapse. God raises his voice and the earth melts.
7
The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob protects us. Selah.
8
Come and see what the Lord has achieved! See the amazing things* he has done on the earth!
9
He stops wars all over the world. He smashes the bow; he breaks the spear; he sets shields on fire.
10
Stop fighting! Recognize I am God! I am the ruler of the nations; I am the ruler of the earth.
11
The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob protects us. Selah.
