Context of Psalms 46:5

3Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah 4There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. 6The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. 7The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
