Psalms 46:1. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
All creatures have their places of refuge. " As for the stork, the fir trees are her house. The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies." All men also have their places of refuge, though some are "refuges of lies." But God is our refuge and strength," the omnipotence of Jehovah is pledged for the defense and support of his people. "A very present help in trouble,"-one who is near at hand; always near, but nearest when he is most needed. Not much entreaty is required to bring him to the aid of his people, for he is close at hand and close at heart, "a very present help in trouble."
