2 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be moved, * and though the hills be | carried • into the | midst • of the | sea; ||

3 Though the waters thereof | rage and | swell, ||

and though the mountains | shake • at the | tempest • of the | same. ||

4 The rivers of the flood thereof shall make glad the | 3 city of | God; ||

the holy place of the | taber•nacle | of the • Most | Highest. ||

God shall | 3 help her, • and | that right | early. ||

but God hath showed his voice, and the | earth shall | melt a- | way. ||
