Scripture: Psalm 46:1-11
God
is our refuge and strength, an
ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore
we will not fear, though the earth give way
and
the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though
its waters roar and foam
and
the mountains quake with their surging.
There
is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the
holy place where the Most High dwells.
God
is within her, she will not fall;
God
will help her at break of day.
Nations
are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he
lifts his voice, the earth melts.
The
Lord Almighty is with us;
the
God of Jacob is our fortress.
Come
and see what the Lord has done,
the
desolations he has brought on the earth.
He
makes wars cease
to
the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he
burns the shields with fire.
He
says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I
will be exalted among the nations,
I
will be exalted in the earth.”
The
Lord Almighty is with us;
the
God of Jacob is our fortress. (NIV)
God
is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him.
We
stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom,
courageous
in seastorm and earthquake,
Before
the rush and roar of oceans,
the
tremors that shift mountains.
Jacob-wrestling
God fights for us, God-of-Angel-Armies protects us.
River
fountains splash joy, cooling God's city, this sacred haunt of the
Most High.
God
lives here, the streets are safe, God at your service from crack of
dawn.
Godless
nations rant and rave, kings and kingdoms threaten,
but
Earth does anything he says.
Jacob-wrestling God fights for us,
God-of-Angel-Armies protects us.
Attention,
all! See the marvels of God!
He
plants flowers and trees all over the earth,
Bans
war from pole to pole, breaks all the weapons across his knee.
"Step
out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at me,
your
High God, above politics, above everything."
Jacob-wrestling
God fights for us, God-of-Angel-Armies protects us. (The Message)
