Lyrics
1 God is our refuge and
strength, a very present
help in trouble.
2 Therefore will not we
fear, though the earth be
removed, and though the
mountains be carried into
the midst of the sea;
3 Though the waters
thereof roar and be
troubled, though the
mountains shake with the
swelling thereof. Selah.
4 There is a river, the
streams whereof shall make
glad the city of God, the
holy place of the
tabernacles of the most
High.
5 God is in the midst of
her; she shall not be
moved: God shall help her,
and that right early.
6 The heathen raged, the
kingdoms were moved: he
uttered his voice, the
earth melted.
7 The LORD of hosts is
with us; the God of Jacob
is our refuge. Selah.
8 Come, behold the works
of the LORD, what
desolations he hath made
in the earth.
9 He maketh wars to cease
unto the end of the earth;
he breaketh the bow, and
cutteth the spear in
sunder; he burneth the
chariot in the fire.
10 Be still, and know that
I am God: I will be
exalted among the heathen,
I will be exalted in the
earth.
11 The LORD of hosts is
with us; the God of Jacob
is our refuge. Selah.

Janelle
Ing (pictured) sang lead
vocals for Psalm 46. The music
to Psalm 46 was composed in
1982. The psalm is a glorious hymn
on the theme that, in the
midst of the upheavals of
nations, God's people are
safe. To express this theme
the psalmist chose a form of
verse unusually regular for
Hebrew poetry. Three stanzas
practically equal in length,
with refrain and Selah
appropriately placed, present
pictures involving striking
contrasts: roaring waters and
rocking mountains, and a quiet
river; nations in turmoil, and
the earth melting at the voice
of the Lord; the desolation of
war, and God ruling quietly
above the nations. |
