- Chapter 46 -

God is our refuge and strength

(2 Kings 18:13-16; 2 Chronicles 32:1-8)
1
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2
Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;
3
though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. Selah.
4
There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.
5
God is within her. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.
6
The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice and the earth melted.
7
The LORD of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8
Come, see the LORD’s works, what desolations he has made in the earth.
9
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots in the fire.
10
“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.”
11
The LORD of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
