2 Therefore we won't be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken 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 its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. (Selah)
though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge.
4 There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.
There is a river whose streams delight the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is in her midst. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.

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