psalm-46:9-bsb

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 46:1-11

“Our Refuge and Strength” Psalms 46:1-11 The historical origin of this psalm cannot be certainly determined. Probably it was composed when Jerusalem was beleaguered by Sennacherib’s hosts, 2 Kings 18:1-37 . It befits every era in which the Church is in danger from her foes, and foretells the final destruction of Antichrist. It was Luther’s favorite psalm, and is rendered into verse in his memorable hymn, Ein’ Feste Burg . During the sitting of the Diet of Augsburg he sang it every day to... read more

Comment on this great song of confidence seems almost unnecessary so powerfully has it taken hold on the heart of humanity, and so perfectly does it set forth the experience of trusting souls in all ages and in tumultuous times. The system of the song is worth noting. It is divided into three parts. The first (verses Psa 46:1-3 ) is the challenge of confidence. The second (verses Psa 46:4-7 ) tells the secret of confidence. The third (verses Psa 46:8-11 ) declares the vindication of... read more

A Call To Consider All God’s Mercies And To Recognise That One Day He Will Bring Everlasting Peace And Will Be Exalted Among The Nations (Psalms 46:8-11 ). Psalms 46:8-9 ‘Come, behold the works of YHWH, What desolations he has made in the earth. He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth, He breaks the bow, and cuts the spear in sunder, He burns the baggage wagons (or ‘shields’) in the fire. All God’s people are now called on to look on and consider the works of YHWH. Let them look on and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 46:1-11

XLVI. God the Refuge of His People.— The poem is divided into three parts by the word “ Selah,” which also marks its close. It was further divided by the refrain which occurs after Psalms 46:6 and Psalms 46:10 and, no doubt, originally stood after Psalms 46:3 also.The Ps. looks back to the deliverance from Sennacherib. Cf. Psalms 46:5, “ God shall help her at the dawn of the morning,” with Isaiah 37:36: “ Early in the morning they” ( i.e. Sennacherib’ s troops) “ were all dead men.” But it... read more

He hath ended our wars, and settled us in a firm and well-grounded peace. The end of the earth, or of this land, to wit, of Israel; from one end of it to the other. He speaks of the bows, and spears, and chariots of their enemies; for he preserved those which belonged to his people. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 46:1-11

INTRODUCTIONSuperscription.—“To the Chief Musician for the sons of Korah.” See Introduction to Psalms 42:0. “A song upon Alamoth.” Great uncertainty attaches to the meaning of “Alamoth.” Some are of opinion that it is the name of a musical instrument. Others that it is the name of a melody. While Fuerst says it is the “proper name of a musical choir, dwelling perhaps in עַלֶּמֶת, over whom was placed a מְנצֵּחַ (director) Psalms 46:0.” The word occurs in 1 Chronicles 15:20, last clause, which,... read more

The Desolations of the Lord, the Consolation of His Saints April 28, 1858 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth. He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder, he burneth the chariot in the fire." - Psalms 46:8-9 . It seems that everything Christlike must have a history like that of Christ. His beginnings were small - the manger and the stable. So with the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 46:1-11

Psalms 46:4 . A river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God. This was the Gihon, a very copious fountain on the west of Jerusalem, like St. Winnefrid’s well in Wales, or the spring at Cheddar in Somerset. At this fount, accounted holy, Solomon was consecrated by Zadock and Nathan. King Hezekiah made a subterranean passage for this water under the hills, on the west side of the city of David; foreseeing that in a future siege, the enemy might find it and divert it from the... read more

Psalms 46:1-11God is our refuge and strength.A psalm of war and peaceThe psalm is divided into three parts, as the Selahs at the end of the third and seventh verses indicate. The first is shorter by one verse, but, were the refrain added to it--it has been said that it was once there--then the psalm stands with a symmetry almost unique. As it is, it has not many rivals. This treasure-house of sacred emotions is built of polished stones, and they are fitly set.1. The first part teaches us to... read more
