1 God is our refuge and our strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed,
and the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though the waters therof roar and be troubled,
though the mountains shake with the swelling therof.
4 There is a river, the streams wherof shall make glad the city of God,
The holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved:
God shall help her, and that right early.
When you know this version off by heart, it becomes part of you.
At the age of ten I wrote out this psalm many times with pen on paper,
after which I knew it , and could say it all and quote from it.
To have the word of God in you, and to be able to call on it instantly,
like the three times table, is an asset and a source of strength.
I had to learn Psalm 46, but I already knew Psalm 23 off by heart
because we sang the Scottish metrical version so often.
