Psalms 46
God is a constant source of strength and help in times of trouble, and His presence brings peace and security. Despite the turmoil and chaos in the world, God's power and control are evident, and He is the one who brings an end to wars and destruction. The psalmist urges people to acknowledge God's power and authority, and to recognize that He is the one who will be exalted among the nations. God's presence is a source of comfort and protection for His people.
1God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.2Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,3though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. Selah4There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.5God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.6Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.7The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah8Come and see the works of the LORD, the desolations he has brought on the earth.9He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear, he burns the shields with fire.10"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."11The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
