Psalm 46:6-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 The nations are in an uproar; the kingdoms totter;
he utters his voice; the earth melts.(A)
7 The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.[a] Selah(B)
8 Come, behold the works of the Lord;
see what desolations he has brought on the earth.(C)
9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields with fire.(D)
10 “Be still, and know that I am God!
I am exalted among the nations;
I am exalted in the earth.”(E)
11 The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.[b] Selah
Psalm 46:6-11
The Voice
6 Trouble is on the horizon for the outside nations, not long until kingdoms will fall;
God’s voice thunders and the earth shakes.
7 You know the Eternal, the Commander of heavenly armies, surrounds us and protects us;
the True God of Jacob is our shelter, close to His heart.
[pause]
8 Come, gaze, fix your eyes on what the Eternal can do.
Amazing, He has worked desolation here on this battlefield, earth.
9 God can stop wars anywhere in the world.
He can make scrap of all weapons: snap bows, shatter spears,
and burn shields.
10 “Be still, be calm, see, and understand I am the True God.
I am honored among all the nations.
I am honored over all the earth.”
11 You know the Eternal, the Commander of heavenly armies, surrounds us and protects us;
the True God of Jacob is our shelter, close to His heart.
