Psalm 46:1–47:9

1  God is our arefuge and strength,

bA very present help cin trouble.

2  Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed,

And though the mountains be carried into †the midst of the sea;

3  dThough the waters thereof roar and be troubled,

Though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

4  There is ea river, the streams whereof shall make glad fthe city of God,

The holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

5  God is gin the midst of her; hshe shall not be moved:

God shall help her, †and that right early.

6  iThe heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved:

He kuttered his voice, the earth lmelted.

7  mThe Lord of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is †our refuge. Selah.

8  nCome, behold the works of the Lord,

What desolations he hath made in the earth.

9  oHe maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth;

pHe breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder;

qHe burneth the chariot in the fire.

10  rBe still, and know that I am God:

sI will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

11  mThe Lord of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

Psalm 47

To the chief Musician, A Psalm ||for the sons of Korah.

1  O aclap your hands, all ye people;

aaShout unto God with the voice of triumph.

2  For the Lord most high is bterrible;

He is a great King over all the earth.

3  He shall csubdue the people under us,

And the nations under our feet.

4  He shall choose our dinheritance for us,

The eexcellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

5  fGod is gone up with a shout,

The Lord with the sound of a trumpet.

6  Sing praises to God, sing praises:

Sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

7  For God is gthe King of all the earth:

hSing ye praises ||with understanding.

8  iGod reigneth over the heathen:

God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

9  ||The jprinces of the people are gathered together,

Even the people of the God of Abraham:

For kthe shields of the earth belong unto God:

He is greatly exalted.
