2 Therefore will we not fear, even when the earth is transformed, and when mountains are moved into the heart of the seas;
Therefore will we not fear, though the earth shall be removed, and though the mountains shall be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 [When] the waters thereof roar and foam, when mountains quake before his majesty. (Selah)
Though its waters shall roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling. (Selah)
4 [There] is a river, its rivulets cause to rejoice the city of God, the sanctuary of the dwellings of the Most High.
There is a river, the streams of which shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5 God is in her midst; she shall not be moved: God will ever help her, at the dawning of [her] morning.

6 Nations rage, kingdoms are moved: he letteth his voice be heard, the earth melteth away.
The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 The Lord of hosts is with us; a defense unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)

8 Come, look at the deeds of the Lord, who hath made desolations on the earth.
Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9 He causeth wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in pieces; he burneth wagons in the fire.
He maketh wars to cease to the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear asunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
10 Leave off, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted on the earth.
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
11 The Lord of hosts is with us; a defence unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
