Psalms 46

You, father, the Lord of hosts, are with me. You are almighty God and you are my fortress. You are my refuge and my strength, a very present help in trouble.

Therefore, I do not fear, though the earth gives way, though the mountains crumble into the sea, though the sea waters roar and foam, and the mountains tremble and the sea rise.

Though the nations rage and kingdoms totter, you, father, utter your voice and the earth melts. You are with me, Lord, and you are my fortress. You work your works on the earth, Lord. You bring desolation and you make wars cease. You break the bow and shatter the spear. You burn the chariot.

And in it all, I am still and know that you are God. I know there is always, forever, a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the most high, and you, father, are in the midst of her and she shall not be moved.
