Psa 46:1-11. Upon Alamoth - most probably denotes the treble, or part sung by female voices, the word meaning “virgins”; and which was sung with some appropriately keyed instrument (compare 1Ch 15:19-21; see on Psa 6:1, title). The theme may be stated in Luther’s well-known words, “A mighty fortress is our God.” The great deliverance (2Ki 19:35; Isa 37:36) may have occasioned its composition.

refuge - literally, “a place of trust” (Psa 2:12).

strength - (Psa 18:2).

present help - literally, “a help He has been found exceedingly.”

trouble - as in Psa 18:7.
