1. God is our refuge and our strength,in straits a present aid;
2. Therefore, although the earth remove,we will not be afraid:Though hills amidst the seas be cast;
3. Though waters roaring make,And troubled be; yea, though the hills,by swelling seas do shake.
4. A river is, whose streams do gladthe city of our God;The holy place, wherein the Lordmost high hath his abode.
5. God in the midst of her doth dwell;nothing shall her remove:The Lord to her an helper will,and that right early, prove.
6. The heathen rag'd tumultuously,the kingdoms moved were:The Lord God uttered his voice,the earth did melt for fear.
7. The Lord of hosts upon our sidedoth constantly remain:The God of Jacob's our refuge,us safely to maintain.
8. Come, and behold what wondrous workshave by the Lord been wrought;Come, see what desolationshe on the earth hath brought.
9. Unto the ends of all the earthwars into peace he turns:The bow he breaks, the spear he cuts,in fire the chariot burns.
10. Be still, and know that I am God;among the heathen IWill be exalted; I on earthwill be exalted high.
11. Our God, who is the Lord of hosts,is still upon our side;The God of Jacob our refugefor ever will abide.
