Psalm - The Old Testament

¹ [For the choirmaster Of the sons of Korah For oboe Song] God is both refuge and strength for us, a help always ready in trouble;

² so we shall not be afraid though the earth be in turmoil, though mountains tumble into the depths of the sea,

³ and its waters roar and seethe, and the mountains totter as it heaves. (Yahweh Sabaoth is with us, our citadel, the God of Jacob.)Pause

⁴ There is a river whose streams bring joy to God's city, it sanctifies the dwelling of the Most High.

⁵ God is in the city, it cannot fall; at break of day God comes to its rescue.

⁶ Nations are in uproar, kingdoms are tumbling, when he raises his voice the earth crumbles away.

⁷ Yahweh Sabaoth is with us, our citadel, the God of Jacob. Pause

⁸ Come, consider the wonders of Yahweh, the astounding deeds he has done on the earth;

⁹ he puts an end to wars over the whole wide world, he breaks the bow, he snaps the spear, shields he burns in the fire.

¹⁰ 'Be still and acknowledge that I am God, supreme over nations, supreme over the world.'

¹¹ Yahweh Sabaoth is with us, our citadel, the God of Jacob.Pause
