NEW JERUSALEMKING JAMES BIBLE
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 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 so we shall not be afraid though the earth be in turmoil, though mountains tumble into the depths ofthe sea,2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
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 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
4 There is a river whose streams bring joy to God's city, it sanctifies the dwel ing of the Most High.4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5 God is in the city, it cannot fal ; at break of day God comes to its rescue.5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms are tumbling, when he raises his voice the earth crumbles away.6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 Yahweh Sabaoth is with us, our citadel, the God of Jacob. Pause7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8 Come, consider the wonders of Yahweh, the astounding deeds he has done on the earth;8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
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 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
10 'Be stil and acknowledge that I am God, supreme over nations, supreme over the world.'10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
11 Yahweh Sabaoth is with us, our citadel, the God of Jacob.Pause11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
