Psalms 46:1-7

1 1God is our 2refuge and strength, 3A very 4present help 5in 6trouble.2Therefore we will 7not fear, though 8the earth should change And though 9the mountains slip into the heart of the 10sea;3Though its 11waters roar and foam, Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. 12Selah.

4There is a 13river whose streams make glad the 14city of God, The holy 15dwelling places of the Most High.5God is 16in the midst of her, she will not be moved; God will 17help her 18when morning dawns.6The 19nations 20made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered; He 21 22raised His voice, the earth 23melted.7The Lord of hosts 24is with us; The God of Jacob is 25our stronghold. Selah.
