Families rest beside a clear river while mountains churn and abandoned bows lie outside

Psalm 46:10

2Therefore we fear not in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.
3Roar — troubled are its waters, Mountains they shake in its pride. Selah.
4A river — its rivulets rejoice the city of God, Thy holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
5God [is] in her midst — she is not moved, God doth help her at the turn of the morn!
6Troubled have been nations, Moved have been kingdoms, He hath given forth with His voice, earth melteth.
7Jehovah of Hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob. Selah.
8Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done astonishing things in the earth,
9Causing wars to cease, Unto the end of the earth, the bow he shivereth, And the spear He hath cut asunder, Chariots he doth burn with fire.
10Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.
11Jehovah of hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob! Selah.
