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.(a)
2
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;(b)
3
Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
4
There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.(c)
6
The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7
The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.(d)
8
Come, behold the works of the Lord , what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9
He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
10
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
11
The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
