CLEMENT WILLIAM POOLE, 1828-1924 |
1 GOD is our refuge and our strength,
In straits a present aid;
2 Therefore, although the earth remove,
We will not be afraid:
Though hills amidst the seas be cast;
3 Though waters roaring make,
And troubled be; yea, though the hills
By swelling seas do shake.
4 A river is, whose streams make glad
The city of our God,
The holy place, wherein the Lord
Most high hath his abode.
5 God in the midst of her doth dwell;
Nothing shall her remove:
God unto her an helper will,
And that right early, prove.
6 The heathen raged tumultuously,
The kingdoms moved were:
The Lord God uttered his voice,
The earth did melt for fear.
7 The Lord of hosts is on our side
Our safety to maintain:
The God of Jacob doth for us
A refuge high remain.
8 Come, and behold what wondrous works
Have by the Lord been wrought;
Come, see what desolations he
Upon the earth hath brought.
9 Unto the ends of all the earth
Wars into peace he turns:
The bow he breaks, the spear he cuts,
In fire the chariot burns.
10 Be still, and know that I am God;
Among the heathen I
Will be exalted; I on earth
Will be exalted high.
11 The Lord of hosts is on our side
Our safety to maintain;
The God of Jacob doth for us
A refuge high remain.
BIBLE PASSAGE:
1 ¶ God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
6 ¶ The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
