| 2Therefore we will not be frightened when the earth roars, when the mountains shake in the depths of the seas, | 2So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea. |
| 3when its waters roar and rage, when the mountains tremble despite their pride. Interlude | 3Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge! Interlude |
| 4Look! There is a river whose streams make the city of God rejoice, even the Holy Place of the Most High. | 4A river brings joy to the city of our God, the sacred home of the Most High. |
| 5Since God is in her midst, she will not be shaken. God will help her at the break of dawn. | 5God dwells in that city; it cannot be destroyed. From the very break of day, God will protect it. |
| 6The nations roared; the kingdoms were shaken. His voice boomed; the earth melts. | 6The nations are in chaos, and their kingdoms crumble! God’s voice thunders, and the earth melts! |

| 8Come, observe the mighty works of the LORD, who causes desolation in the earth. | 8Come, see the glorious works of the LORD: See how he brings destruction upon the world. |
| 9He causes wars to cease all over the earth, he causes the bow to break, the spear to snap, the chariots to ignite and burn. | 9He causes wars to end throughout the earth. He breaks the bow and snaps the spear; he burns the shields with fire. |
| 10Be in awe and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted throughout the earth. | 10“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.” |
| 11The LORD of the heavenly armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Interlude | 11The LORD of Heaven’s Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress. Interlude |
