2 That is why we are not afraid even when the earth quakes or the mountains topple into the depths of the sea. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 Water roars and foams, and mountains shake at the surging waves. [Selah] though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.
4 There is a river whose streams bring joy to the city of God, the holy place where the Most High lives.

He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire. He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire.

I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
