Psalms 46:7

46:7 The Lord who commands armies is on our side!

The God of Jacob is our protector! (Selah)


tn 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.

tn That is, Israel, or Judah (see Ps 20:1).

tn Heb “our elevated place” (see Pss 9:9; 18:2).
