Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
*Though* — Though there should be nothing but confusion, and desolations round about us: which are often expressed by such metaphors.

There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
*A river* — This may design the gracious presence, and blessing of the Lord, which is frequently described under the name of waters.
*Make glad* — Shall not barely preserve it from danger, but give great occasion for rejoicing and thanksgiving.
*The city* — Jerusalem, the place where God's holy tabernacle is settled.

The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. /*Selah*/.
*Raged* — Against God, and against his people.
*Uttered* — He spake to them in his wrath.
*The earth* — The inhabitants of the earth were consumed.

Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
*Desolations* — Among those who were vexatious to God's people.

He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
*To cease* — He hath settled as in a firm and well-grounded peace.
*The land* — Of Israel: from one end of it to the other.
*The bow* — The bows and spears, and chariots of their enemies.

The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. /*Selah*/.
*Be still* — Stir no more against my people.
*God* — The only true and almighty God; your gods are but dumb and impotent idols.
*Exalted* — I will make myself glorious by my great and wonderful works.
