6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts.
6 Godless nations rant and rave, kings and kingdoms threaten, but Earth does anything he says.
6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
6 The nations are in chaos, and their kingdoms crumble! God's voice thunders, and the earth melts!
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 46:6
Commentary on Psalm 46:6-11
(Read Psalm 46:6-11)
Come and see the effects of desolating judgments, and stand in awe of God. This shows the perfect security of the church, and is an assurance of lasting peace. Let us pray for the speedy approach of these glorious days, and in silent submission let us worship and trust in our almighty Sovereign. Let all believers triumph in this, that the Lord of hosts, the God of Jacob, has been, is, and will be with us; and will be our Refuge. Mark this, take the comfort, and say, If God be for us, who can be against us? With this, through life and in death, let us answer every fear.
