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

God is Our Refuge and Strength
(2 Kings 18:13-16; 2 Chronicles 32:1-8; Psalm 47:1-9; Psalm 48:1-14)
1To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. 'For the Virgins.' -- A song. God is to us a refuge and strength, A help in adversities found most surely.
2Therefore we fear not in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.
3Roar -- troubled are its waters, Mountains they shake in its pride. Selah.
4A river -- its rivulets rejoice the city of God, Thy holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
5God is in her midst -- she is not moved, God doth help her at the turn of the morn!
6Troubled have been nations, Moved have been kingdoms, He hath given forth with His voice, earth melteth.
7Jehovah of Hosts is with us, A tower for us is the God of Jacob. Selah.
8Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done astonishing things in the earth,
9Causing wars to cease, Unto the end of the earth, the bow he shivereth, And the spear He hath cut asunder, Chariots he doth burn with fire.
10Desist, and know that I am God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.
11Jehovah of hosts is with us, A tower for us is the God of Jacob! Selah.
