Psalm 46

Psalm 46

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1). Even in the midst of troubled times, God's people can rest in the knowledge that God is present with them and that he will ultimately be exalted.

To sing Psalm 46 we used an original setting familiar to our congregation.
