(A special song by the clan of Korah and for the music leader.)
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.
Ndjambi u ri puna eṱe
Komuimburise. Eimburiro rovazandu va Kora, otja komuimbure wondenga.
1 Ndjambi eye omaundiro nomasa wetu,

2 Otji tu hi nokutira, ehi nanda ri nyinganyinga,
nozondundu nandi za wire mourekoto wokuvare,
3 nokuvare nandi kwa hwaara naku

nozondundu nandi za kurakurisiwa
i ondokohero yakwo.
4 Omipupo vyonḓonḓu mavi

10 “Iseye ovita, nu tjiweye kutja owami Ndjambi,

Eye ma ravaere nai.
11 Muhona Omunamasaaehe u ri puna eṱe,
