6 The nations made an uproar , the kingdoms tottered ; He raised His voice , the earth melted . 7 The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold . Selah . 8 Come , behold the works of the Lord , Who has wrought desolations in the earth . 9 He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth ; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two ; He burns the chariots with fire . 10 "Cease striving and know that I am God ; I will be exalted among the nations , I will be exalted in the earth ." 11 The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold . Selah .

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.
