2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth is transformed and the mountains are toppled into the depths of the seas,

Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, and though the mountains be moved into the heart of the seas;

3 though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge.

Though the waters thereof roar and foam, though the mountains shake at the swelling thereof. (Selah)

8 Come, see the works of the LORD, who brings devastation upon the earth.

Come, behold the works of the LORD, who hath made desolations in the earth.

9 He makes wars to cease throughout the earth; He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the shields in the fire.

He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariots in the fire.

10 “Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted over the earth.”

11 The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
