46:1 (可拉後裔的詩歌,交與伶長。調用女音。)上帝是我們的避難所,是我們的力量,是我們在患難中隨時的幫助。
46:2 所以,地雖改變,山雖搖動到海心,
46:3 其中的水雖匉訇翻騰,山雖因海漲而戰抖,我們也不害怕。(細拉)
46:4 有一道河,這河的分汊使上帝的城歡喜;這城就是至高者居住的聖所。
46:5 上帝在其中,城必不動搖;到天一亮,上帝必幫助這城。
46:6 外邦喧嚷,列國動搖;上帝發聲,地便鎔化。
46:7 萬軍之耶和華與我們同在;雅各的上帝是我們的避難所!(細拉)
46:8 你們來看耶和華的作為,看他使地怎樣荒涼。
46:9 他止息刀兵,直到地極;他折弓、斷槍,把戰車焚燒在火中。
46:10 你們要休息,要知道我是上帝!我必在外邦中被尊崇,在遍地上也被尊崇。
46:11 萬軍之耶和華與我們同在;雅各的上帝是我們的避難所!

According to alamoth.[b] A song.
1 God
is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.[c]
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.[c]
4 There
is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
7 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
8 Come
and see what the Lord has done,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields[d] with fire.
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”

許多人以為信靠主耶穌之後,就會被轄制,這也不能做,那也不能做,完全沒有自由。甚是有人批評基督教是奴僕的信仰,因為要放下自己的主權交給上帝,他們認為這樣會喪失自我。
但是信靠主耶穌的人並沒有覺得自己是奴僕,因為上帝宣告我們是他的兒女,耶穌愛我們如朋友,聖靈更是將豐豐富富的愛澆灌在我們心中!不僅如此,我們還有永生的盼望,使我們可以勝過苦難和死亡的權勢!是多麼喜樂、自由與平安,絕對不是充滿恐懼與不安以及受壓迫!有人還說信靠主耶穌是不自由的自由呢!
這是基督信仰奇妙之處,在未信之前感覺是自己下決定,在信了之後卻是感覺能夠信靠是上帝的恩典!要不是上帝讓我們明白與感受到:上帝的愛就在各各他山上的十字架!我們是無法,也不會信靠耶穌基督成為上帝的兒女!
