Psalm 46 1 2 3 4 5 6 God is our refuge and strength, 7 8 9 10 11 12 a very present help in trouble. 13 14 15 16 17 Therefore will not we fear, 18 19 20 21 22 23 though the earth be removed, and 24 25 26 27 28 though the mountains be carried 29 30 31 32 33 34 into the midst of the sea; 35 36 37 38 39 Though the waters thereof roar 40 41 42 43 44 and be troubled, though the 45 46 mountains shake with the ----- swelling thereof. Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. The Heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth. He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, 46 45 44 and cutteth the spear in sunder; ----- 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 he burneth the chariot in the fire. 36 35 34 33 32 31 30 29 Be still, and know that I am God: 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 I will be exalted among the heathen, 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 I will be exalted in the earth. 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 The Lord of hosts is with us; 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. Is this just coincidence?

In Psalm 46, the 46th word from the beginning of the psalm is shake and the 46th word from the end of the psalm is spear.

And Shakespeare was 46 years old when the King James version of the Bible was translated!
