📚 Historical Context

Psalms 46 is attributed to the sons of Korah and likely dates to a time of national crisis in ancient Israel, such as the Assyrian invasion during King Hezekiah's reign in the 8th century BC. In this context, the psalm portrays Jerusalem as a city under threat but protected by God, emphasizing His role as a refuge and defender amid warfare and chaos. This reflects the biblical accounts in 2 Kings and Isaiah, where God miraculously delivered the city from its enemies.
