Psalms 46,47,48

Psalms 46

1For the choir director. A song of the sons of Korah. According to . [1] God is our refuge and strength, a helper who is always found in times of trouble.

2Therefore we will not be afraid, though the earth trembles and the mountains topple into the depths of the seas,

3though its water roars and foams and the mountains quake with its turmoil. Selah

4There is a river — its streams delight the city of God, the holy dwelling place of the Most High.

5God is within her; she will not be toppled. God will help her when the morning dawns.

6Nations rage, kingdoms topple; the earth melts when he lifts his voice.

7The LORD of Armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah

8Come, see the works of the LORD, who brings devastation on the earth.

9He makes wars cease throughout the earth. He shatters bows and cuts spears to pieces; he sets wagons ablaze.

10“Stop your fighting, and know that I am God, exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth.”

11The LORD of Armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah

Psalms 47

1For the choir director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. [1] Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with a jubilant cry.

2For the LORD, the Most High, is awe-inspiring, a great King over the whole earth.

3He subdues peoples under us and nations under our feet.

4He chooses for us our inheritance — the pride of Jacob, whom he loves. Selah

5God ascends among shouts of joy, the LORD, with the sound of trumpets.

6Sing praise to God, sing praise; sing praise to our King, sing praise!

7Sing a song of wisdom, for God is King of the whole earth.

8God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.

9The nobles of the peoples have assembled with the people of the God of Abraham. For the leaders of the earth belong to God; he is greatly exalted.

Psalms 48

1A song. A psalm of the sons of Korah. [1] The LORD is great and highly praised in the city of our God. His holy mountain,

2rising splendidly, is the joy of the whole earth. Mount Zion — the summit of Zaphon —  is the city of the great King.

3God is known as a stronghold in its citadels.

4Look! The kings assembled; they advanced together.

5They looked and froze with fear; they fled in terror.

6Trembling seized them there, agony like that of a woman in labor,

7as you wrecked the ships of Tarshish with the east wind.

8Just as we heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of Armies, in the city of our God; God will establish it forever. Selah

9God, within your temple, we contemplate your faithful love.

10Like your name, God, so your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with justice.

11Mount Zion is glad. Judah’s villages rejoice because of your judgments.

12Go around Zion, encircle it; count its towers,

13note its ramparts; tour its citadels so that you can tell a future generation:

14“This God, our God forever and ever — he will always lead us.”
