Attention, all! See the marvels of God! He plants flowers and trees all over the earth, Bans war from pole to pole, breaks all the weapons across his knee. “Step out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at me, your High God, above politics, above everything.”
Psalm 46:10 (MSG)
URGENT CALL TO REPENTANCE: All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord. And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee. For the Kingdom is the Lord’s and He rules among the nations. (Psalm 22:27-28)

Amen. We need more of that!
Agreed!
That's a whole lot different than a lot of the other translations. Like niv?
Jay, it's The Message Bible, which I like a lot; have been using it here for some time.
The flowers and trees, yes. The crabgrass and thorny things, I am not so sure...
TB, I'm with you. Biologists assure us those things have their purpose, but I remain a skeptic. :)
I always look at the other translations of these too. I see why I was confused. I looked at just 46:10 and this is really 46:8 thru 10.
I find the differences very interesting.
I have noticed that The Message tends to lump some verses together, but I really like its take on familiar passages. :)
