Therefore, although the earth remove, we will not be afraid: Though hills amidst the seas be cast;
Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale, yet will I fear none ill: For thou art with me; and thy rod and staff me comfort still.
Against me though an host encamp, my heart yet fearless is: Though war against me rise, I will be confident in this.
They know not, nor will understand; in darkness they walk on: All the foundations of the earth out of their course are gone.
Th' earth, as affrighted, then did shake, trembling upon it seiz'd: The hills' foundations moved were, because he was displeas'd.
The Lord's my strength and shield; my heart upon him did rely; And I am helped: hence my heart doth joy exceedingly, And with my song I will him praise.
But the salvation of the just is from the Lord above; He in the time of their distress their stay and strength doth prove.
O God, thou art my strength, I will sing praises unto thee; For God is my defence, a God of mercy unto me.
Ye people, place your confidence in him continually; Before him pour ye out your heart: God is our refuge high.
Surely mean men are vanity, and great men are a lie; In balance laid, they wholly are more light than vanity.
I of the Lord my God will say, He is my refuge still, He is my fortress, and my God, and in him trust I will.
Because I am brought very low, attend unto my cry: Me from my persecutors save, who stronger are than I.
