NEW JERUSALEM	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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. A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
2 so we shall not be afraid though the earth be in turmoil, though mountains tumble into the depths ofthe sea,	2 All nations, clap your hands. Shout joyfully to God with a voice of exultation.
3 and its waters roar and seethe, and the mountains totter as it heaves. (Yahweh Sabaoth is with us, ourcitadel, the God of Jacob.)Pause	3 For the Lord is exalted and terrible: a great King over all the earth.
4 There is a river whose streams bring joy to God's city, it sanctifies the dwel ing of the Most High.	4 He has subjected the peoples to us and subdued the nations under our feet.
5 God is in the city, it cannot fal ; at break of day God comes to its rescue.	5 He has chosen us for his inheritance: the splendor of Jacob, whom he has loved.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms are tumbling, when he raises his voice the earth crumbles away.	6 God ascends with jubilation, and the Lord with the voice of the trumpet.
7 Yahweh Sabaoth is with us, our citadel, the God of Jacob. Pause	7 Sing psalms to our God, sing psalms. Sing psalms to our King, sing psalms.
8 Come, consider the wonders of Yahweh, the astounding deeds he has done on the earth;	8 For God is the King of all the earth. Sing psalms wisely.
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 God will reign over the peoples. God sits upon his holy throne.
10 'Be stil and acknowledge that I am God, supreme over nations, supreme over the world.'	10 The leaders of the peoples have been gathered together by the God of Abraham. For the strong gods of the earth have been exceedingly exalted.
11 Yahweh Sabaoth is with us, our citadel, the God of Jacob.Pause
