God is our shelter and stronghold; * a deliverer from sieges have we found the Great One.

      Supreme Being, * we will not be afraid * of the jaws of the underworld,

            or the toppling of mountains * into the heart of the sea,

      even if its waters rage and foam, * and the mountains tumble into its midst, * and the sea currents mount in a swell.

            God brings happiness to his city; * the Most High sanctifies his dwelling.

                  With God in its midst, * it will not be toppled;

            He will help it * at the break of dawn.

      Nations tremble; * kingdoms totter;

      he gives forth his voice; * the earth melts away.

Yahweh of Armies is our fortress; * our stronghold is the God of Jacob.

      Come, observe the works of Yahweh, * who has put fertility in the earth.

            He makes wars to cease * to the edge of the earth.

            The bow he breaks, and snaps the spear, * the war chariots he burns with lightning.

      Be still and know * that I am God,

      exalted above the nations, * exalted above the earth.

Yahweh of Armies is our fortress; * our stronghold is the God of Jacob.
