Psalms 46:3

"Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;"

Key Reflection

This verse reassures believers that they should not fear even in times of great turmoil and change, as God remains their refuge. The imagery of the earth and mountains being shaken likened to the sea emphasizes that no matter how tumultuous the world becomes, God's stability and strength endure unshaken.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled -The waters of the sea. The idea is, that they would not be afraid though everything should be in commotion, and be as unsettled as the restless waves of the ocean. The earth might be changed, the mountains removed, the agitated sea roar and dash against the shore, but their minds would be calm. The word rendered “be troubled” means to boil; to ferment; to foam; and here it refers to the ocean as agitated and lashed into foam.
