1. Elohim is our refuge and strength, a very present help in tzoros.
2. (3) Therefore we will not fear, though eretz be shaken, and though the harim (mountains) fall into the lev yamim (heart of the seas);
3. (4) Though the mayim thereof roar and be troubled, though the harim shake with the surging thereof. Selah.
4. (5) There is a nahar (river), the streams whereof shall make glad the Ir Elohim, the Kedosh Mishkenei Elyon (the holy dwelling of the Most High).
