2Therefore we will not be afraid, though the earth trembles and the mountains topple into the depths of the seas, | 2Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, |
3though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with its turmoil. Selah | 3though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah |
4There is a river-- its streams delight the city of God, the holy dwelling place of the Most High. | 4There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. |
5God is within her; she will not be toppled. God will help her when the morning dawns. | 5God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. |
