God is our refuge and strength

(2 Kings 18:13-16; 2 Chronicles 32:1-8)
1
TO THE OVERSEER. BY SONS OF KORAH. FOR GIRLS’ [VOICES]. A SONG. God [is] our refuge and strength, || A most sure help in adversities.
2
Therefore we do not fear in the changing of earth, || And in the slipping of mountains || Into the heart of the seas.
3
Roar—troubled are its waters, || Mountains shake in its pride. Selah.
4
A river—its streams make glad the city of God, || Your holy place of the dwelling places of the Most High.
5
God [is] in her midst—she is not moved, God helps her at the turn of the morning!
6
Nations have been troubled, || Kingdoms have been moved, || He has given forth with His voice—earth melts.
7
YHWH of Hosts [is] with us, || The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us. Selah.
8
Come, see the works of YHWH, || Who has done astonishing things in the earth,
9
Causing wars to cease, || To the end of the earth, He shatters the bow, || And He has cut apart the spear, || He burns chariots with fire.
10
Desist, and know that I [am] God, || I am exalted among nations, || I am exalted in the earth.
11
YHWH of hosts [is] with us, || The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us! Selah.

God is our refuge and strength

(2 Kings 18:13-16; 2 Chronicles 32:1-8)
1
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2
Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;
3
though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. Selah.
4
There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.
5
God is within her. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.
6
The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice and the earth melted.
7
The LORD of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8
Come, see the LORD’s works, what desolations he has made in the earth.
9
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots in the fire.
10
“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.”
11
The LORD of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
