A message to take to heart Psalm 46

Psalm 46
God Our Refuge
For the choir director. A song of the sons of Korah.

According to Alamoth.

1 God is our refuge and strength,

a helper who is always found

in times of trouble.

2 Therefore we will not be afraid,

though the earth trembles

and the mountains topple

into the depths of the seas,

3 though its waters roar and foam

and the mountains quake with its turmoil. Selah

4 [There is] a river—

its streams delight the city of God,

the holy dwelling place of the Most High.

5 God is within her; she will not be toppled.

God will help her when the morning dawns.

6 Nations rage, kingdoms topple;

the earth melts when He lifts His voice.

7 The LORD of Hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah
8 Come, see the works of the LORD,

who brings devastation on the earth.

9 He makes wars cease throughout the earth.

He shatters bows and cuts spears to pieces;

He burns up the chariots.

10 "Stop [your fighting]—and know that I am God,

exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth."

11 The LORD of Hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah

With love like this how can we tremble?

With power like this how can we falter?

With God like this how can we fail?
