Our Refuge And Help In Times Of Trouble





"The Lord of hosts is with us..."
Psalm 46:11




Appearing over 250 times in the Old Testament,
"Yahweh Sabaoth"  translated, means,
"The Lord of Armies"



PSALM 46

To the Chief Musician
A song of the sons of Korah


God is our Refuge and Strength, mighty and impenetrable
to temptation, a very present and well-proved help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
and though the mountains be shaken into the midst of the seas,

Though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble
at its swelling and tumult.

Selah (Reader) pause, and calmly think of that!

There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God,
the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.



The Jordan River In Israel



God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God will
help her right early, at the dawn of the morning.

The nations raged, the kingdoms tottered and were moved;
He uttered His voice, the earth melted.

The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our Refuge,
our Fortress and High Tower.

Selah pause, and calmly think of that!

Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has wrought
desolations and wonders in the earth.

He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow
into pieces and snaps the spear in two; He burns the chariots in the fire.

Let be and be still, and know, recognize and understand, that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth!

The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our Refuge,
our High Tower and Stronghold.

Selah pause, and calmly think of that!
