Psalm 46
God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah

4 There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God,
The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.

He burns the chariot in the fire.

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

My God, in Him I will trust.”
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler[a]
And from the perilous pestilence.
4 He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
And from the perilous pestilence.

And under His wings you shall take refuge;

Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

And He shall sustain you;
He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.

And delivers them out of all their troubles.

And saves such as have a contrite spirit.

WHEN THERE ARE NO WORDS,
HIS WORD WILL ALWAYS
BE ENOUGH
Sarah, I like your reference to Psalm 146:9a. Since February 21st, 1981 the verse Psalm 68:5 has continued to always give me peace and strength. I hope it may give you and your children the same comfort it's always given me.
