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.
