Theological / Devotional

The Lord of hosts. Verse 11 is the refrain to the third stanza (see on v. 7).

Selah. See on v. 3.

Ps. 46 will bring special comfort to the people of God in the time of trouble. In that fearful hour, when a mighty earthquake such as never was will convulse the earth; when the sun, moon, and stars will be shaken out of their courses; when the mountains will shake like a reed, and ragged rocks be scattered on every side; when the sea will be lashed into fury and the whole surface of the earth be broken up; when mountain chains will sink and islands disappear (Matt. 24:29, 30; Luke 21:25, 26), the saints will find protection in God.
