God is Our Refuge and Strength (2 Kings 18:13-16; 2 Chronicles 32:1-8; Psalm 47:1-9; Psalm 48:1-14) 1{45:1}Unto the end, for the sons of Core, for the hidden. [2] Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly. 2{45:3}Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea. 3{45:4}Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength. 4{45:5}The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle. 5{45:6}God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early. 6{45:7}Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled. 7{45:8}The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector. 8{45:9}Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth, 9{45:10}Making wars to cease even to the end of the earth. He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: and the shield he shall burn in the fire. 10{45:11}Be still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth. 11{45:12}The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
