God is our | hope and strength,

* a very | present help in trouble.

2 Therefore will we not fear, though the | earth be moved,

* and though the hills be carried into the | midst of the sea;

3 Though the waters thereof | rage and swell,

* and though the mountains shake at the | tempest of the same.

4 There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the | city• of God;

* the holy place of the tabernacle | of the Most Highest.

5 God is in the midst of her, therefore shall she not | be removed;

* God shall | help her•, and that right early.

6 The nations make much ado, and the | kingdoms• are moved;

* but God hath showed 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 hither, and behold the works | of the Lord,

* what destruction he hath | brought upon the earth.

9 He maketh wars to cease in | all the world;

* he breaketh the bow, and knappeth the spear in sunder, and burneth the | chari•ots in the fire.

10 Be still then, and know that | I am God:

* I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be ex- | -alted in the earth.

11 The Lord of | hosts is with us;

* the God of | Jacob is our refuge.

Glory be to the Father, and | to the Son,

* and | to the Holy Ghost,

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever shall be,

* world without | end.  Amen.
