| 1God is our refuge and strength, a great help in times of distress. | 1God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. |
| 2Therefore we will not be frightened when the earth roars, when the mountains shake in the depths of the seas, | 2Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, |
| 3when its waters roar and rage, when the mountains tremble despite their pride. Interlude | 3though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah |
| 4Look! There is a river whose streams make the city of God rejoice, even the Holy Place of the Most High. | 4There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. |
| 5Since God is in her midst, she will not be shaken. God will help her at the break of dawn. | 5God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. |
| 6The nations roared; the kingdoms were shaken. His voice boomed; the earth melts. | 6The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. |
| 7The LORD of the heavenly armies is with us; our refuge is the God of Jacob. Interlude | 7The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah |
| 8Come, observe the mighty works of the LORD, who causes desolation in the earth. | 8Come, behold the works of the LORD, how he has brought desolations on the earth. |
| 9He causes wars to cease all over the earth, he causes the bow to break, the spear to snap, the chariots to ignite and burn. | 9He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire. |
| 10Be in awe and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted throughout the earth. | 10“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” |
| 11The LORD of the heavenly armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Interlude | 11The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah |
