4A river flows to bring happiness to those in God's city, the holy place where the Most High lives.
5God is in the midst of the city; it will never fall. God protects it as soon as it is light.
6Nations are in turmoil, kingdoms collapse. God raises his voice and the earth melts.
7The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob protects us. Selah.
8Come and see what the Lord has achieved! See the amazing things he has done on the earth!
9He stops wars all over the world. He smashes the bow; he breaks the spear; he sets shields on fire.
