though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah

CSBChristian Standard Bible

God is our refuge and strength,

a helper who is always found

into the depths of the seas,

though its water roars and foams

and the mountains quake with its turmoil.

Selah

NLTNew Living Translation

God is our refuge and strength,

always ready to help in times of trouble.

So we will not fear when earthquakes come

and the mountains crumble into the sea.

Let the oceans roar and foam.

Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!

and though the mountains totter into the midst of the sea,

though its waters roar and foam,

though mountains shake with its surging water. Selah

KJV 1900King James Version

God is our refuge and strength,

Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,

Though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
