Psalm 46
To the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of the sons of Korah, set to treble voices. A song.
1GOD IS our Refuge and Strength [mighty and impenetrable to temptation], a very present and well-proved help in trouble.2Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains be shaken into the midst of the seas,
3Though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling and tumult. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
4There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
6The nations raged, the kingdoms tottered and were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
7The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our Refuge (our Fortress and High Tower). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
8Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has wrought desolations and wonders in the earth.
9He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow into pieces and snaps the spear in two; He burns the chariots in the fire.
10Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth!
11The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our Refuge (our High Tower and Stronghold). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

Psalm Challenge is hosted by Robert at Daily Athens.
It is open to any and all and there are no hard and fast rules.
The idea is to select a psalm and post a photo or several photos
to illustrate a verse or two, or the entire psalm--whatever we want to do;
Most of us are going chronologically through the psalms.

Oh dear I wonder what has gone wrong ... none of your images are showing for me. I'll have to come back another day.
Beautifully illustrated with your photos Sara. The Lord of hosts is with us...that's good to ponder.
Beautiful illustration. So calm... A perfect psalm!
Wish you have a blesse week:-)
Your psalm posts have inspired me to perhaps do ayat posts, ayat meaning a verse of the Quran, with photos to accompany them. Yours make for nice reading with insights into your faith, i like that.

Psalm 46
Must be wonderful to live that close to nature as the people in your first image, yet dangerous as well. I miss that much, as Athens consits much of concrete and asphalt.
Impressive the other images as well. Would love to spend some time inside that lighthouse with many books ;)
Thank you very much for your kindness and participation ! Please have a good new week and please join again soon.
Love this psalm ... and the pictures are wonderful, especially favor the lighthouse!
A beautifully presented psalm with wonderful photos. The lighthouse is my favourite also.
Love the choppy water photo.
