Vers 1

God is our refuge and our strength,
in straits a present aid;
Therefore, although the earth remove,
we will not be afraid:

Vers 2

Though hills amidst the seas be cast;
Though waters roaring make,
And troubled be; yea, though the hills,
by swelling seas do shake.

Vers 3

A river is, whose streams do glad
the city of our God;
The holy place, wherein the Lord
most high hath his abode.

Vers 4

God in the midst of her doth dwell;
nothing shall her remove:
The Lord to her an helper will,
and that right early, prove.

Vers 5

The heathen rag’d tumultuously,
the kingdoms moved were:
The Lord God uttered his voice,
the earth did melt for fear.

Vers 6

The Lord of hosts upon our side
doth constantly remain:
The God of Jacob’s our refuge,
us safely to maintain.

Vers 7

Come, and behold what wondrous works
have by the Lord been wrought;
Come, see what desolations
he on the earth hath brought.

Vers 8

Unto the ends of all the earth
wars into peace he turns:
The bow he breaks, the spear he cuts,
in fire the chariot burns.

Vers 9

Be still, and know that I am God;
among the heathen I
Will be exalted; I on earth
will be exalted high.

Vers 10

Our God, who is the Lord of hosts,
is still upon our side;
The God of Jacob our refuge
for ever will abide.
