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

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

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

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

4 There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the holiest dwelling-place of the Most High.

5 God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, at the approach of morning.

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

9 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.

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

10 'Let be, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'
