God is our refuge and strength

(2 Kings 18:13-16; 2 Chronicles 32:1-8)
1
God is the one who protects us and causes us to be strong; he is always ready to help us when we have troubles.
2
So, even if the earth shakes, we will not be afraid. Even if the mountains fall into the middle of the sea,
3
and if the water in the sea roars and foams, and if the hills shake violently, we will not be afraid!
4
Blessings that come from God are like a river that makes everyone in the city joyful, there where we worship him. It is the city where the temple of God, who is greater than any other god, exists.
5
God is in this city, and it will never be destroyed; he will come to help the people in that city at dawn every day.
6
Sometimes the people of many nations are terrified; kingdoms are overthrown; God speaks loudly like thunder, and the earth melts.
7
But Yahweh, Commander of the angel armies, is with us; the God whom Jacob worshiped is our refuge.
8
Come and see the things that Yahweh does! Come and see the things he has destroyed all over the earth.
9
He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows and arrows; he destroys spears; he burns up shields.
10
God says, “Be quiet and remember that I am God! People of all nations will honor me. People all over the earth will honor me.”
11
So never forget that Yahweh, Commander of the angel armies, is with us; the God whom Jacob worshiped is our refuge.

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.
