Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
(Read: Psalm 46).
10 The Psalmist encourages the godly to "be still" and to "know" that the Lord is God. Though it was tempting to ally themselves with foreign powers, to rely on military strength, or to give themselves over into idolatry and pagan ways, the godly must learn to persevere to the end. The "knowledge" of God includes a factual knowledge about him, his past acts, and his promises. The life of faith is lived in commitment to God's sovereignty, rule, and ultimate exaltation over all the nations.
