2 Therefore we will not fear,(f) though the earth give way(g)
and the mountains fall(h) into the heart of the sea,(i)
3 though its waters roar(j) and foam(k)
and the mountains quake(l) with their surging.[c]
4 There is a river(m) whose streams(n) make glad the city of God,(o)
the holy place where the Most High(p) dwells.(q)
5 God is within her,(r) she will not fall;(s)
God will help(t) her at break of day.

he lifts his voice,(x) the earth melts.(y)

Lord
Almighty(z) is with us;(aa)
the God of Jacob(ab) is our fortress.(ac)

Lord
has done,(ad)

I will be exalted(aj) among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."
