A Help I'm Trouble.

Happy is the man who has made God
his refuge and strength. No real harm can
ever overtake him. He has refuge TO
which he can flee in every hour of tempta-

and rest. God is sufficient Tor anything
that can arise. And our refuge is always
near at hand, very present help in

long way to his city OF refuge, but ours is
always close at hand; III moment we are

in word and in tongue, but in deed and in
truth. then we shah never fear under any
circumstances, not even though the earth
be removed, and though the mountains be
carried into the midst OF the sea.
