Psalm 46:1-7
1God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.
2Therefore will we not be afraid, though the earth changes, Though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;
3Though the waters of it roar and are troubled, Though the mountains tremble with the swelling of it. Selah.
4There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, The holy place of the tents of the Most High.
5God is in the midst of her. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.
6The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He uttered his voice, and the earth melted.
7Yahweh of Hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
