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 should change, though the mountains shake in 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, though the mountains tremble with its tumult. [Selah]
4 There is a river that brings joy to the city of God, to the sacred house of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God will help her right early.
