Psalm 46–47

¹To the Overseer.—By sons of Korah. ‘For the Virgins.’—A song. God is to us a refuge and strength, A help in adversities found most surely.

²Therefore we fear not in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.

³Roar—troubled are its waters, Mountains they shake in its pride. Selah.

⁴A river—its rivulets rejoice the city of God, Thy holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.

⁵God is in her midst—she is not moved, God doth help her at the turn of the morn!

⁶Troubled have been nations, Moved have been kingdoms, He hath given forth with His voice, earth melteth.

⁷Jehovah of Hosts is with us, A tower for us is the God of Jacob. Selah.

⁸Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done astonishing things in the earth,

⁹Causing wars to cease, Unto the end of the earth, the bow he shivereth, And the spear He hath cut asunder, Chariots he doth burn with fire.

¹⁰Desist, and know that I am God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.

¹¹Jehovah of hosts is with us, A tower for us is the God of Jacob! Selah.

Psalm 47

¹To the Overseer.—By sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,

²For Jehovah Most High is fearful, A great king over all the earth.

³He leadeth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.

⁴He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of Jacob that He loves. Selah.

⁵God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

⁶Praise God—praise—give praise to our king, praise.

⁷For king of all the earth is God, Give praise, O understanding one.

⁸God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat on His holy throne,

⁹Nobles of peoples have been gathered, With the people of the God of Abraham, For to God are the shields of earth, Greatly hath He been exalted!
