though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;
[3] though its waters roar and are troubled,
though the mountains tremble with their swelling.

the holy place of the tents of the Most High.
[5] God is within her. She shall not be moved.
God will help her at dawn.
[6] The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved.
He lifted his voice and the earth melted.

The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah. [8] Come, see Yahweh’s works,
what desolations he has made in the earth.

He burns the chariots in the fire.

I will be exalted among the nations.
I will be exalted in the earth.”

The God of Jacob is our refuge.
