PSALMS 46 - God - Current Refuge and Future Hope

1God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
* "Abundantly available" when in "tight places"
2Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains slip into the heart of the seas;
* Rev. 6:12, 16:20
3Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Selah.
4There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
* Rev. 22:1
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
5God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
* At the turning of the morning - the dawn of a new DAY.
6The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;
He raised ( gave forth ) His voice, the earth melted.
7The Lord ( Y'hovah ) of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.
8Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has wrought desolations in the earth.
* Which He has afflicted as desolations
9He 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 ( LET GO, RELAX ) and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
11The Lord ( Y'hovah )  of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.
