• Not only can they say “we have heard” of the great things God has done for His people in times past, as in Psalms 44:1-8; but, with a deepened experience of God’s goodness, they can add, “God is...a very present help in trouble.” (“Psalms 46” by H. Smith)

• Psalms 46 to 49 open out the glorious results of the advent of the King. Psalm 46 shows that although the Lord has returned (Ps 45), the remnant are still not fully at rest in their land. They turn to God again for refuge and further deliverance as they see the Gentile nations (particularly those under Gog—Russia) rising up against them as waves of an angry sea (vs. 1-3). (“Book 2.” by B. Anstey)
