Astonishing Desolations Destruction Earth Works Wrought
Psalm 46
1. The confidence which the church has in God
8. An exhortation to behold it














(8) The Lord.--Many MSS. read Elohim instead of "Jehovah."

Desolations . . .--Either, silence of desolation, "silence" being the primary sense of the word, or (as in Jeremiah 19:8), wonders, which silence by their suddenness and marvel. So LXX. and Vulg., and this is confirmed by Psalm 46:10.

Verse 8. - Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth. The deliverance of Israel from its peril is effected by "desolations" or "devastations," which God accomplishes among the nations. The announcement is very vague and general, so that it would apply to almost any occasion when the people of God were delivered from a pressing peril.
