NEW JERUSALEMDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 [For the choirmaster Of the sons of Korah For oboe Song] God is both refuge and strength for us, ahelp always ready in trouble;1 Unto the end, for the sons of Core, for the hidden.
2 so we shall not be afraid though the earth be in turmoil, though mountains tumble into the depths ofthe sea,2 Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.
3 and its waters roar and seethe, and the mountains totter as it heaves. (Yahweh Sabaoth is with us, ourcitadel, the God of Jacob.)Pause3 Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.
4 There is a river whose streams bring joy to God's city, it sanctifies the dwel ing of the Most High.4 Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength.
5 God is in the city, it cannot fal ; at break of day God comes to its rescue.5 The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms are tumbling, when he raises his voice the earth crumbles away.6 God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early.
7 Yahweh Sabaoth is with us, our citadel, the God of Jacob. Pause7 Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.
8 Come, consider the wonders of Yahweh, the astounding deeds he has done on the earth;8 The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
9 he puts an end to wars over the whole wide world, he breaks the bow, he snaps the spear, shields heburns in the fire.9 Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth,
10 'Be stil and acknowledge that I am God, supreme over nations, supreme over the world.'10 making wars to cease even to the end of the earth. He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: and the shield he shall burn in the fire.
11 Yahweh Sabaoth is with us, our citadel, the God of Jacob.Pause11 Be still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.
12 The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
