Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 46 of Psalms. Psalm 46 proclaims that God is a refuge amid natural catastrophes and political threats. The language of raging waters, shaking mountains, and wars creates a setting in which the most stable structures appear to disappear. Yet the city of God remains because the Lord is in its midst. The command to be still and recognize God summarizes the theme: divine sovereignty remains even when circumstances are chaotic.

Darum fürchten wir uns nicht, wenngleich die Welt unterginge und die Berge mitten ins Meer sänken,
Bramarán, turbaranse sus aguas; Temblarán los montes a causa de su braveza. (Selah.)
aunque sus aguas rujan y se agiten, y las montañas tiemblen ante su furia. Selah.
Quand les flots de la mer mugissent, écument, Se soulèvent jusqu'à faire trembler les montagnes. -Pause.
E le acque di esso romoreggiassero, e s’intorbidassero; E i monti fossero scrollati dall’alterezza di esso. Sela.
Ainda que as águas rujam e se perturbem, ainda que os montes se abalem pela sua braveza. (Selá.)
其中的水雖澎湃翻騰, 山雖因海漲而戰抖, 我們也不害怕。(細拉)
