• Psa. 46 gives us one most simple truth, but a most solemn and weighty one—one much needed by Christians in the heavings of this world, and in the tendency to seek relief by human effort. “Be still, and know that I am God.” That is the exhortation. (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 45-48” by J.N. Darby)
• The waters may rage and be troubled, and the mountains shake with their swelling; we can be still. For no matter what power or swelling there is, if God be there, our refuge.

(“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 45-48” by J.N. Darby)
• Having thus seen the purpose of God, and the governmental ways whereby God carries out His purpose, the godly have only to be still and wait for God to act. (“Psalms 46” by H. Smith)
