Scripture: Psalm 46:1

A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.

Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God's own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.

And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.

That Word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still,

His kingdom is forever.

2: God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in distress.
3: ³ Thus we do not fear, though earth be shaken and mountains quake to the depths of the sea,
4: Though its waters rage and foam and mountains totter at its surging. ⁴ The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah
5: ⁵ Streams of the river gladden the city of God, the holy dwelling of the Most High.
6: God is in its midst; it shall not be shaken; God will help it at break of day.
7: Though nations rage and kingdoms totter, God's voice thunders and the earth trembles.
8: The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah
9: Come and see the works of the LORD, who has done fearsome deeds on earth;
10: Who stops wars to the ends of the earth, breaks the bow, splinters the spear, and burns the shields with fire;
11: Who says: "Be still and confess that I am God! I am exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth."
12: The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah
