(可拉後裔的詩歌,交與伶長。調用女音。)神是我們的避難所,是我們的力量,是我們在患難中隨時的幫助。所以,地雖改變,山雖搖動到海心,其中的水雖匉訇翻騰,山雖因海漲而戰抖,我們也不害怕。(細拉)有一道河,這河的分汊使神的城歡喜;這城就是至高者居住的聖所。神在其中,城必不動搖;到天一亮,神必幫助這城。外邦喧嚷,列國動搖;神發聲,地便鎔化。
萬軍之耶和華與我們同在;雅各的神是我們的避難所!(細拉)你們來看耶和華的作為,看他使地怎樣荒涼。他止息刀兵,直到地極;他折弓、斷槍,把戰車焚燒在火中。你們要休息,要知道我是神!我必在外邦中被尊崇,在遍地上也被尊崇。萬軍之耶和華與我們同在;雅各的神是我們的避難所!
<To the chief music-maker. Of the sons of Korah; put to Alamoth. A Song.> God is our harbour and our strength, a very present help in trouble.
For this cause we will have no fear, even though the earth is changed, and though the mountains are moved in the heart of the sea; Though its waters are sounding and troubled, and though the mountains are shaking with their violent motion. (Selah.)
There is a river whose streams make glad the resting-place of God, the holy place of the tents of the Most High. God has taken his place in her; she will not be moved: he will come to her help at the dawn of morning. The nations were angry, the kingdoms were moved; at the sound of his voice the earth became like wax. The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah.) Come, see the works of the Lord, the destruction which he has made in the earth. He puts an end to wars over all the earth; by him the bow is broken, and the spear cut in two, and the carriage burned in the fire. Be at peace in the knowledge that I am God: I will be lifted up among the nations, I will be honoured through all the earth. The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah.)

45的平方年第一個主日,詩篇 46一開始就告訴我們:"神是我們的避難所,是我們的力量,是我們在患難中隨時的幫助。"。選畫冊展的是喬治·布拉克 (Georges Braque,1882 -1963) 法國立體主義發展的傑出人物。他的二幅同名畫作: 《埃斯塔克的房子》(A House at Estaque,1908)。畫中將建築結構簡化為近似立方體的幾何形狀,但通過分割圖像來渲染其陰影這些簡單的立體畫風,預告了我們在這新的一年,上帝阿爸父與我們的親密關係: 只要住在祂的家(或說,我們的身體就是祂居住的住所),上帝阿爸父時時刻刻與我們同在,不論經歷任何新的挑戰,祂永遠是我們的避難所,是我們的力量,更是我們在患難中隨時的幫助。堅強與溫柔的撫慰,只要我們願意敲門,就必得著。
