¹God is our refuge^(A)and strength,^(B)

    God will help^(T)her at break of day.
⁶Nations^(U)are in uproar,^(V)kingdoms^(W)fall;
    he lifts his voice,^(X)the earth melts.^(Y)

⁷TheLordAlmighty^(Z)is with us;^(AA)
the God of Jacob^(AB)is our fortress.^(AC)

⁸Come and see what theLordhas done,^(AD)
    the desolations^(AE)he has brought on the earth.

    to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow^(AG)and shatters the spear;
    he burns the shields^[d]with fire.^(AH)

    I will be exalted^(AJ)among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth.”
