PSALM FORTY-SIX , Verse 6,7 & 11

Psalm 46:6 NIV  Nations are in uproar, governments fall...

For those who have lived through decades of peace and relative prosperity
in a nation where good health services and good education have been freely
available to all; where law and order and justice and democracy have been
maintained impartially and with integrity....
then we can truely say with the psalmist ;-

The LORD All-Powerful is with us
The God of Jacob is our place of safety.        Psalm 46:7 ERV

Verse 7 and 11 ere identical.
Perhaps Psalm 46 is a responsorial Psalm.
The contents of verses 7 and 11 are repeated by divine inspiration
and so are worthy of earnest contemplation.
the KJV has..............our refuge
NIV,NLT and ESV...our fortress
NASB......................our stronghold
NJB.........................our citadel
SAAS(orthodox)......our protector
Jewish Study Bible....our haven.
