Be Still and Know

This morning, during my Bible meditation, Steven Curtis Chapman's song "Be Still and Know" played over and over again in my mind. What follows are the verses which inspired the song, in NIV and Message translations;

Psalm 46:10

NIV:
Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.

Msg:
Step out of the traffic! Take a long,
loving look at me, your High God,
above politics, above everything.

Zechariah 2:13

NIV:
Be still before the Lord, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.

Msg:
Quiet everyone! Shh! Silence before God, something's afoot in his holy house. He's on the move!
