⁴ There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
    the holy habitation of the Most High.^(D)
5 God is in the midst of the city;^[b] it shall not be moved;
    God will help it when the morning dawns.^(E)
6 The nations are in an uproar; the kingdoms totter;
    he utters his voice; the earth melts.^(F)
7 The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our refuge.^[c] Selah^(G)

⁸ Come, behold the works of the Lord;
    see what desolations he has brought on the earth.^(H)
9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
    he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
    he burns the shields with fire.^(I)
10 “Be still, and know that I am God!
    I am exalted among the nations;
    I am exalted in the earth.”^(J)
11 The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our refuge.^[d] Selah

⁵ Thus says the Lord:
Cursed are those who trust in mere mortals
    and make mere flesh their strength,
    whose hearts turn away from the Lord.^(A)
6 They shall be like a shrub in the desert
    and shall not see when relief comes.
They shall live in the parched places of the wilderness,
    in an uninhabited salt land.^(B)

⁷ Blessed are those who trust in the Lord,
    whose trust is the Lord.^(C)
8 They shall be like a tree planted by water,
    sending out its roots by the stream.
It shall not fear when heat comes,
    and its leaves shall stay green;
in the year of drought it is not anxious,
    and it does not cease to bear fruit.^(D)
