For the choir director; a song by the descendants of Korah; according to alamoth.[a]

46 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in times of trouble.
That is why we are not afraid
even when the earth quakes
or the mountains topple into the depths of the sea.
Water roars and foams,
and mountains shake at the surging waves. Selah

There is a river
whose streams bring joy to the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High lives.
God is in that city.
It cannot fall.
God will help it at the break of dawn.
Nations are in turmoil, and kingdoms topple.
The earth melts at the sound of ⌞God’s⌟ voice.

The Lord of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah

Come, see the works of the Lord,
the devastation he has brought to the earth.
He puts an end to wars all over the earth.
He breaks an archer’s bow.
He cuts spears in two.
He burns chariots.
10 Let go ⌞of your concerns⌟!
Then you will know that I am God.
I rule the nations.
I rule the earth.

11 The Lord of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah

For the choir director; a psalm by Korah’s descendants.

47 Clap your hands, all you people.
Shout to God with a loud, joyful song.
We must fear the Lord, the Most High.
He is the great king of the whole earth.
He brings people under our authority
and ⌞puts⌟ nations under our feet.
He chooses our inheritance for us,
the pride of Jacob, whom he loved. Selah

God has gone up with a joyful shout.
The Lord has gone up with the sound of a ram’s horn.
Make music to praise God.
Play music for him!
Make music to praise our king.
Play music for him!
God is the king of the whole earth.
Make your best music for him!
God rules the nations.
He sits upon his holy throne.

The influential people from the nations gather together
as the people of the God of Abraham.
The rulers of the earth belong to God.
He rules everything.
