46 - Deus noster refugium

1  God is our refuge and strength, *
a very present help in trouble.
2  Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be moved, *
and though the hills be carried into the midst of the sea;
3  Though its waters rage and swell, *
and though the mountains shake at its tempest.

4  There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, *
the holy dwelling place of the Most High.
5  God is in the midst of her; therefore she shall not be moved. *
God shall help her at the break of day.
6  The nations are in an uproar, and the kingdoms are moved, *
but God has lifted his voice, and the earth shall melt away.
7  The Lord of hosts is with us; *
the God of Jacob is our refuge.
8  O come and behold the works of the Lord, *
what devastations he has brought upon the earth.
9  He makes wars to cease in all the world; *
he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear, and burns 
the chariots in the fire.
10  “Be still then and know that I am God; *
I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted 
in the earth.”
11  The Lord of hosts is with us; *
the God of Jacob is our refuge.
