Not a Metaphor

I am thankful for songs (written thousands of years ago) that remind me that - even in the midst of terrifying situations like earthquakes and tsunamis - God is there:

God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling.

Reading Psalm 46 (quoted above), I wonder if the songwriter is describing a personal experience... If the shaking mountains and roaring water are not merely a metaphor...
