6 Troubled have been nations, Moved have been kingdoms, He hath given forth with His voice, earth melteth. 7 Jehovah of Hosts 'is' with us, A tower for us 'is' the God of Jacob. Selah. 8 Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done astonishing things in the earth, 9 Causing wars to cease, Unto the end of the earth, the bow he shivereth, And the spear He hath cut asunder, Chariots he doth burn with fire. 10 Desist, and know that I 'am' God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth. 11 Jehovah of hosts 'is' with us, A tower for us 'is' the God of Jacob! 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.
