God Is Our Refuge and Strength
(2 Kings 18:13–16; 2 Chronicles 32:1–8)

1To the overseer for the sons of Korah, with the female voice: a song. O God, to us refuge and strength, helping greatly, being found in straits.

2For this we will not fear in the changing of the earth, and in the moving of the mountains into the heart of the seas.

3Its waters will roar, they will foam; the mountains will tremble in its pride. Silence.

4A river, its streams will gladden the city of God, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

5God is in her midst, she shall not be moved: God will help her at the face of morning.

6Nations raged, kingdoms were moved: he gave with his voice, the earth will melt.

7Jehovah of armies is with us, the God of Jacob a height for us. Silence.

8Come, behold the works of Jehovah, what desolations he set in the earth.

9Causing wars to cease even to the end of the earth; he will break the bow, and be cut off the spear, and he will burn the cars in fire.

10Desist, and know that I am God: I will be exalted in the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

11Jehovah of armies is with us; the God of Jacob a height for us. Silence.
