3. Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled. Faith is not afraid of noise, nor even of real force; she knows that
the Lord stills the raging of the sea, and holds the waves in the hollow of his
hand. Though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Alps and
Andes may tremble, but faith rests on a firmer basis. Selah. In the
midst of such a hurlyburly the music may well come to a pause, both to give the
singers breath, and ourselves time for meditation. We are in nor hurry, but can
sit us down and wait while earth dissolves. Ours is not the headlong rashness
which passes for courage; we can calmly confront the danger. The pause is not
an exclamation of dismay; we merely retune our harps with deliberation amidst
the tumult of the storm.
