A Mighty Fortress: Psalm 46
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Three words for God: refuge, strength, help. Not occasional help—ever-present. Not distant strength—ours. Not future refuge—now.
Martin Luther made this psalm into his battle hymn: A Mighty Fortress Is Our God. The Reformation marched to these words.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.
