Psalm 46-47

Darby Translation

To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. On Alamoth. A song.

46 God is our refuge and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.

² Therefore will we not fear though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the heart of the seas;

³ Though the waters thereof roar [and] foam, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

⁴ There is a river the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the sanctuary of the habitations of the Most High.

⁵ God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her at the dawn of the morning.

⁶ The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

⁷ Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. Selah.

⁸ Come, behold the works of Jehovah, what desolations he hath made in the earth:

⁹ He hath made 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.

¹⁰ Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

¹¹ Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. Selah.

To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.

47 All ye peoples, clap your hands; shout unto God with the voice of triumph!

² For Jehovah, the Most High, is terrible, a great king over all the earth.

³ He subdueth the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.

⁴ He hath chosen our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

⁵ God is gone up amid shouting, Jehovah amid the sound of the trumpet.

⁶ Sing psalms of God, sing psalms; sing psalms unto our King, sing psalms!

⁷ For God is the King of all the earth; sing psalms with understanding.

⁸ God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

⁹ The willing-hearted of the peoples have gathered together, [with] the people of the God of Abraham. For unto God [belong] the shields of the earth: he is greatly exalted.
