Context
Psalm 46
46:1 For the music director ; by the Korahites ; according to the alamoth style; a song . God is our strong refuge ; he is truly our helper in times of trouble . 46:2 For this reason we do not fear when the earth shakes , and the mountains tumble into the depths of the sea , 46:3 when its waves crash and foam , and the mountains shake before the surging sea. (Selah ) 46:4 The river’s channels bring joy to the city of God , the special, holy dwelling place of the sovereign One . 46:5 God lives within it, it cannot be moved . God rescues it at the break of dawn . 46:6 Nations are in uproar , kingdoms are overthrown . God gives a shout , the earth dissolves .
