Good News Translation GNT
New International Version NIV
1 God is our shelter and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.
1
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
2 So we will not be afraid, even if the earth is shaken and mountains fall into the ocean depths;
2
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 even if the seas roar and rage, and the hills are shaken by the violence.
3
though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.
4 There is a river that brings joy to the city of God, to the sacred house of the Most High.
4
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is in that city, and it will never be destroyed; at early dawn he will come to its aid.
5
God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are terrified, kingdoms are shaken; God thunders, and the earth dissolves.
6
Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
