God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change,
though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea;
though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble with its tumult.
The Hebrew translated above as "present" is מָצָא or matsa'.
I have always read this as a temporal quality. It is not.
It is a verb meaning to find, detect, discover, learn...
In times of trouble God is a source of discernment and creation.
God's strength is ready to help us find a solution.
Psalm 46
