** The psalmists wrote and sung Psalm 46 to declare their unshakable trust in God’s sovereignty and power, even in the face of the most overwhelming chaos. This psalm speaks to God’s role as a refuge and strength, a fortress for His people amidst natural disasters, wars, and the turmoil of life.

The sons of Korah composed this psalm not only as a song of confidence but also as an invitation to behold the mighty works of the Lord, who alone has the power to bring peace to a raging world. It reminds us that when nations crumble, and the earth itself seems to tremble, God’s presence remains steadfast. The call to “Be still, and know that I am God” is a reminder to rest in His assurance and recognize His ultimate authority over all creation.

This blues song, "Still Waters Blues," reflects the depth and truth of Psalm 46, weaving its timeless words with heartfelt lyrics that bring the psalm’s message to life.

** Original Text (Psalm 46, WEB)

For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.
1 God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes,
though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas,
3 though its waters roar and are troubled,
though the mountains tremble with their swelling. Selah.

4 There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad,
the holy place of the tents of the Most High.
5 God is within her. She shall not be moved.
God will help her at dawn.
6 The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved.
He lifted his voice, and the earth melted.

7 Yahweh of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

8 Come, see Yahweh’s works,
what desolations he has made in the earth.
9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth.
He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear.
He burns the chariots in the fire.

10 “Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations.
I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 Yahweh of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

** Lyrics to Psalm 46: "Still Waters Blues"

[Verse 1]
When the earth is shaken,
And the mountains fall,
When the seas roar loud,
And the waves stand tall,
I won’t be afraid,
For my refuge is near.
God is my fortress,
He wipes away my fear.

[Chorus]
"Be still, and know I am God," He says.
"I’ll be exalted through all your days."
Yahweh of Armies is here to stay,
The God of Jacob lights my way.

[Verse 2]
There’s a river flowing,
Through the city of grace.
Its streams bring gladness,
To His holy place.
God is within her,
She will not be moved.
At the break of dawn,
Her strength is renewed.

[Chorus]
"Be still, and know I am God," He says.
"I’ll be exalted through all your days."
Yahweh of Armies is here to stay,
The God of Jacob lights my way.

[Bridge]
Come, see the works of the Lord,
The desolation He has made.
He ends the wars, breaks the bow,
And shatters the blade.
Nations may rage, kingdoms may fall,
But at His voice, the earth stands in awe.

[Verse 3]
Though the waters roar,
And the mountains quake,
My soul is still,
For His promise won’t break.
He melts the earth,
With the sound of His voice,
And through every storm,
I’ve reason to rejoice.

[Chorus]
"Be still, and know I am God," He says.
"I’ll be exalted through all your days."
Yahweh of Armies is here to stay,
The God of Jacob lights my way.

[Outro]
He’s my fortress, my shield,
My ever-present help.
When the nations crumble,
I’m not by myself.
"Be still, and know I am God," He calls,
Above all creation, He stands tall.
