Psalm 46:1–47:9

¹God is our refuge and strength,

A very present help in trouble.

²Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change,

And though the mountains be shaken into the heart of the seas

³Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,

Though the mountains tremble with the swelling thereof. Selah

⁴There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God,

The holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.

⁵God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved:

God will help her, and that right early.

⁶The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved:

He uttered his voice, the earth melted.

⁷Jehovah of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

⁸Come, behold the works of Jehovah,

What desolations he hath made in the earth.

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

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

He burneth the chariots in the fire.

¹⁰Be still, and know that I am God:

I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

¹¹Jehovah of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

Psalm 47

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

¹Oh clap your hands, all ye peoples;

Shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

²For Jehovah Most High is terrible;

He is a great King over all the earth.

³He subdueth peoples under us,

And nations under our feet.

⁴He chooseth our inheritance for us,

The glory of Jacob whom he loved. Selah

⁵God is gone up with a shout,

Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

⁶Sing praises to God, sing praises:

Sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

⁷For God is the King of all the earth:

Sing ye praises with understanding.

⁸God reigneth over the nations:

God sitteth upon his holy throne.

⁹The princes of the peoples are gathered together

To be the people of the God of Abraham;

For the shields of the earth belong unto God:

He is greatly exalted.
