God is our refuge and strength
(2 Kings 18:13-16; 2 Chronicles 32:1-8)
1
To him that excelleth upon Alamoth a song committed to the sonnes of Korah. God is our hope and strength, and helpe in troubles, ready to be found.
2
Therefore will not we feare, though the earth be moued, and though the mountaines fall into the middes of the sea.
3
Though the waters thereof rage and be troubled, and the mountaines shake at the surges of the same. Selah,
4
Yet there is a Riuer, whose streames shall make glad the citie of God: euen the Sanctuarie of the Tabernacles of the most High.
5
God is in the middes of it: therefore shall it not be moued: God shall helpe it very earely.
6
When the nations raged, and the kingdomes were moued, God thundred, and the earth melted.
7
The Lord of hostes is with vs: the God of Iaakob is our refuge. Selah.
8
Come, and behold the workes of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9
He maketh warres to cease vnto the endes of the world: he breaketh the bowe and cutteth the speare, and burneth the chariots with fire.
10
Be still and knowe that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, and I wil be exalted in the earth.
11
The Lord of hostes is with vs: the God of Iaakob is our refuge. Selah.
