God protects us and makes us strong
Tell the leader of the choir that this is a song by the Korah group. They must play the same music as the song: ‘Young Women’.
1God protects us and makes us strong.
He is always there to help us
when we have trouble.
2That is why we will not be afraid,
even if the earth trembles
and the mountains fall into the sea,
3even if the water of the sea roars
and makes a lot of foam and
its big waves shake the mountains. Selah
4There is a river which makes
the people happy in the city of God,
the holy place of the Most High God.
5God is in the city,
and no one will defeat or shake it.
God will help the people of the city
in the morning.
6Nations make a noise,
and kingdoms and lands are destroyed.
When God speaks, the earth melts away.
7The Lord who rules over all is with us.
The God_of_Jacob protects us. Selah
8Come and see what the Lord has done.
See what wonderful things
He has done on earth.
9He stops wars all over the world.
He breaks all the bows_and_arrows
and spears and He burns
all the war-chariots with fire.
10God says: ‘Stop fighting.
Be still and know that I am God.
I am high above all the nations,
and high above the earth.’
11The Lord who rules over all
is with us. The God_of_Jacob protects us. Selah
