Be Still And Know That I Am God

"Be still and know that I am God" is a phrase from the Hebrew Bible, specifically found in Psalm 46:10 in the Old Testament. The phrase is often interpreted as a call to cease striving, to rest, and to acknowledge the sovereignty and presence of God. In Hebrew, the phrase is translated as ""השתוק ודע כי אני אלהים" ("Hishtak v'da ki ani Elohim"). In Latin, it is rendered as "Eripe me de inimicis meis, Deus meus", although this is a different verse (Psalm 59:1). The phrase has been widely used in Christian and Jewish religious contexts, emphasizing the importance of faith, trust, and recognition of divine authority. It is often quoted in times of distress or uncertainty, serving as a reminder of God's omnipotence and the need for human surrender to divine will. The phrase has also been translated into various other languages, such as German: "Seid still und erkennt, dass ich Gott bin", and French: "Cessez de lutter et sachez que je suis Dieu".
