God Is Our Fortress

To the choirmaster. Of (A)the Sons of Korah. According to (B)Alamoth.[a] A Song.

46 God is our (C)refuge and strength,
    a very (D)present[b] help in (E)trouble.
Therefore we will not fear (F)though the earth gives way,
    though the mountains be moved into (G)the heart of the sea,
though (H)its waters roar and foam,
    though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah

There is (I)a river whose streams make glad (J)the city of God,
    the holy (K)habitation of the Most High.
(L)God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
    God will help her when morning dawns.
(M)The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
    he (N)utters his voice, the earth (O)melts.
(P)The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

(Q)Come, behold the works of the Lord,
    how he has brought desolations on the earth.
(R)He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
    he (S)breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
    (T)he burns the chariots with fire.
10 (U)“Be still, and know that I am God.
    (V)I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth!”
11 (W)The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

God Is King over All the Earth

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of (X)the Sons of Korah.

47 (Y)Clap your hands, all peoples!
    (Z)Shout to God with loud songs of joy!
For the Lord, the Most High, (AA)is to be feared,
    (AB)a great king over all the earth.
He (AC)subdued peoples under us,
    and nations under our feet.
He chose our (AD)heritage for us,
    (AE)the pride of Jacob whom he loves. Selah

God (AF)has gone up with a shout,
    the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
Sing praises to God, sing praises!
    Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
For God is (AG)the King of all the earth;
    sing praises (AH)with a psalm![c]

God (AI)reigns over the nations;
    God sits on his holy throne.
(AJ)The princes of the peoples gather
    as the people of the God of Abraham.
For (AK)the shields of the earth belong to God;
    he is highly exalted!
