Skid Marks and Broken Glass

Psalm 46
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear,
though the earth give way
and the mountains fall
into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake
with their singing. (selah)

There is a river whose streams
make glad the city of God,
the holyplace where the most high dwells.
God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at the break of day.
Nations are in uproar,
kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice,
the earth melts.

The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. (selah)

Come and see the works of the Lord,
the desolations he has
brought on the earth.
He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth;
he breaks the bow and
shatters the spear,
he burns the shields with fire.

Be still and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.

The Lord Allmighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
(selah)
