‏ Psalms 46:1

PSALM 46

Psa 46:1-11. Upon Alamoth--most probably denotes the treble, or part sung by female voices, the word meaning "virgins"; and which was sung with some appropriately keyed instrument (compare 1Ch 15:19-21; see on Psa 6:1, title). The theme may be stated in Luther's well-known words, "A mighty fortress is our God." The great deliverance (2Ki 19:35; Is 37:36) may have occasioned its composition.

1. refuge--literally, "a place of trust" (Psa 2:12).

strength--(Psa 18:2).

present help--literally, "a help He has been found exceedingly."

trouble--as in Psa 18:7.
