3though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. Selah.
4There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.
5God is within her. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.
6The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice, and the earth melted.
7Yahweh of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8Come, see Yahweh’s works, what desolations he has made in the earth.
