¹God is our crefuge and strength,

a very dpresent2 help in etrouble.

though the mountains be moved into gthe heart of the sea,

³though hits waters roar and foam,

though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah

⁴There is ia river whose streams make glad jthe city of God,

the holy khabitation of the Most High.

⁵lGod is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;

God will help her when morning dawns.

the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

how he has brought desolations on the earth.

vI will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth!”

¹¹pThe Lord of hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
