God Is Our Mighty Fortress

God Is Our Mighty Fortress

1 God is our mighty fortress, always ready to help in times of trouble.

2 And so, we won't be afraid! Let the earth tremble and the mountains tumble into the deepest sea.

3 Let the ocean roar and foam, and its raging waves shake the mountains.

4 A river and its streams bring joy to the city, which is the sacred home of God Most High.

5 God is in that city, and it won't be shaken. He will help it at dawn.

6 Nations rage! Kingdoms fall! But at the voice of God the earth itself melts.

7 The Lord All-Powerful is with us.

The God of Jacob is our fortress.

8 Come! See the fearsome things the Lord has done on earth.

9 God brings wars to an end all over the world.

He breaks the arrows, shatters the spears, and burns the shields.

10 Our God says, “Calm down, and learn that I am God! All nations on earth will honor me.”

11 The Lord All-Powerful is with us.

The God of Jacob is our fortress.
