You are present when
I need You – a very present Help in dire trouble.
You find me when
I’ve found You and You make Yourself known then!
Therefore, I won’t
fear, I won’t tremble, even when the earth shakes,
And though there are
great tsunamis and earthquakes,
I’ll still myself in
You.
You make the seas to
swell up, and, though You command the seas,
I trust You.
I will trust You
always – to the ends of my days, with every means in me!
Selah
There
is the River of God that calms my spirit, Oh Lord,
It
streams into the City of God
and makes the City rejoice,
This
River flows with majesty and its sense of Sovereignty is unmistakable.
God
has made His Presence live here, and I enjoy the experience of Your
River,
Oh God.
Oh
God, You give Your servant the experience of heaven on this green earth.
God,
You are in the City – within it – all about – in every nook and cranny;
Whilst
You are here, with Your servant, this City shall not be shifted.
And
when morning comes gently on the horizon, You will help the City.
Though
the other kingdoms – those of other gods – exist, they totter and fall,
But
Yours, oh Lord, remains, even as
You breathe fire
On
these other kingdoms,
And as
they melt away before my eyes – You, alone, are Sovereign.
You
are with me – the God of Jacob upholds me!
Selah
Come,
I say to myself, come, and
behold the experience of God’s Presence; come view the crafting of His hands!
He has
brought great lands to a ruin at the clap of His hands; in the echo of His
great voice! He who has done this won’t stop in defending me!
The Lord commands that conflicts cease –
even to the ends of my world.
He
burns all the heinous weapons of them who fight against me; He smotes them!
He
booms, “Be still, and know that I am God! Have
faith in Me!
“I am exalted among all the godless
nations – they who laugh at you soon come to understand their ignorance and folly.
I am exalted over the face of the earth – you shall see!”
You
are with me – the God of Jacob upholds me!
Selah

God will not hold back
his defense of those who call upon his name.
