10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

(Read Psalm 75:1-5)
We often pray for mercy, when in pursuit of it; and shall we only once or twice give thanks, when we obtain it? God shows that he is nigh to us in what we call upon him for. Public trusts are to be managed uprightly. This may well be applied to Christ and his government. Man's sin threatened to destroy the whole creation; but Christ saved the world from utter ruin. He who is made of God to us wisdom, bids us be wise. To the proud, daring sinners he says, Boast not of your power, persist not in contempt. All the present hopes and future happiness of the human race spring from the Son of God.
3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
3 When the earth totters, and all its inhabitants, it is I who keep steady its pillars. Selah
3 When the earth goes topsy-turvy And nobody knows which end is up, I nail it all down, I put everything in place again.
3 The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved; I set up its pillars firmly. Selah
3 When the earth quakes and its people live in turmoil, I am the one who keeps its foundations firm. Interlude

Commentary on Psalm 46:6-11
(Read Psalm 46:6-11)
Come and see the effects of desolating judgments, and stand in awe of God. This shows the perfect security of the church, and is an assurance of lasting peace. Let us pray for the speedy approach of these glorious days, and in silent submission let us worship and trust in our almighty Sovereign. Let all believers triumph in this, that the Lord of hosts, the God of Jacob, has been, is, and will be with us; and will be our Refuge. Mark this, take the comfort, and say, If God be for us, who can be against us? With this, through life and in death, let us answer every fear.
