a very present help in trouble.

though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;
3 though its waters roar and are troubled,
though the mountains tremble with their swelling.
Selah.

the holy place of the tents of the Most High.
5 God is within her. She shall not be moved.
God will help her at dawn.

He lifted his voice and the earth melted.
7 The LORD of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge.

8 Come, see the LORD’s works,
what desolations he has made in the earth.

He burns the chariots in the fire.

I will be exalted amongst the nations.
I will be exalted in the earth.”
11 The LORD of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
