Psa 46:7 | NETfull | STEP | The Lord who commands armies is on our side! The God of Jacob is our protector! (Selah)

Psalms 46:7

7 The Lord who commands armies is on our side! ^{▼▼ Heb “the Lord of hosts is with us.” The title “Lord of hosts” here pictures the Lord as a mighty warrior-king who leads armies into battle (see Ps 24:10). The military imagery is further developed in vv. 8–9.}
The God of Jacob ^{▼▼ That is, Israel, or Judah (see Ps 20:1).} is our protector! ^{▼▼ Heb “our elevated place” (see Pss 9:9; 18:2).} (Selah)
