Psalm 45:2–47:15

²Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.

³Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.

⁵The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.

⁶God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early.

⁷Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.

⁸The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.

⁹Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth,

¹⁰Making wars to cease even to the end of the earth. He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: and the shield he shall burn in the fire.

¹¹Be still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.

¹²The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.

Psalm 46

¹Unto the end, for the sons of Core.

²O clap your hands, all ye nations: shout unto God with the voice of joy,

³For the Lord is high, terrible: a great king over all the earth.

⁴He hath subdued the people under us; and the nations under our feet.

⁵He hath chosen for us his inheritance, the beauty of Jacob which he hath loved.

⁶God is ascended with jubilee, and the Lord with the sound of trumpet.

⁷Sing praises to our God, sing ye: sing praises to our king, sing ye.

⁸For God is the king of all the earth: sing ye wisely.

Psalm 47

¹A psalm of a canticle, for the sons of Core, on the second day of the week.

²Great is the Lord, and exceedingly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

³With the joy of the whole earth is mount Sion founded, on the sides of the north, the city of the great king.

⁴In her houses shall God be known, when he shall protect her.

⁵For behold the kings of the earth assembled themselves: they gathered together.

⁶So they saw, and they wondered, they were troubled, they were moved:

⁷Trembling took hold of them. There were pains as of a woman in labour.

⁸With a vehement wind thou shalt break in pieces the ships of Tharsis.

⁹As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God hath founded it for ever.

¹⁰We have received thy mercy, O God, in the midst of thy temple.

¹¹According to thy name, O God, so also is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of justice.

¹²Let mount Sion rejoice, and the daughters of Juda be glad; because of thy judgments, O Lord.

¹³Surround Sion, and encompass her: tell ye in her towers.

¹⁴Set your hearts on her strength; and distribute her houses, that ye may relate it in another generation.

¹⁵For this is God, our God unto eternity, and for ever and ever: he shall rule us for evermore.
