God is our refuge and strength

Psalm 46
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.

Come and see the works of the LORD,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.

"Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."

The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah

Psalm 47
Clap your hands, all you nations;
shout to God with cries of joy.

How awesome is the LORD Most High,
the great King over all the earth!

He subdued nations under us,
peoples under our feet.

God reigns over the nations;
God is seated on his holy throne.

The nobles of the nations assemble
as the people of the God of Abraham,
for the kings [d] of the earth belong to God;
he is greatly exalted.

Psalm 48
Great is the LORD, and most worthy of praise,
in the city of our God, his holy mountain.

God is in her citadels;
he has shown himself to be her fortress.

consider well her ramparts,
view her citadels,
that you may tell of them to the next generation.

For this God is our God for ever and ever;
he will be our guide even to the end.
