3 The waters of the sea may roar and foam. The mountains may shake when the waters rise. But we will not be afraid. Selah
4 God's blessings are like a river. They fill the city of God with joy. That city is the holy place where the Most High God lives.
5 Because God is there, the city will not fall. God will help it at the beginning of the day.
6 Nations are in disorder. Kingdoms fall. God speaks, and the people of the earth melt in fear.
7 The Lord who rules over all is with us. The God of Jacob is like a fort to us. Selah
8 Come and see what the Lord has done. See the places he has destroyed on the earth.
9 He makes wars stop from one end of the earth to the other. He breaks every bow. He snaps every spear. He burns every shield with fire.
