Psalm 46

English Standard Version

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.
²Therefore we will not fear ^(F)though the earth give way,
    though the mountains be moved into ^(G)the heart of the sea,
³though ^(H)its waters roar and foam,
    though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah

⁴There is ^(I)a river whose streams make glad ^(J)the city of God,
    the holy ^(K)habitation of the Most High.
⁵^(L)God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
    God will help her when morning dawns.
⁶^(M)The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
    he ^(N)utters his voice, the earth ^(O)melts.
⁷^(P)The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

⁸^(Q)Come, behold the works of the Lord,
    how he has brought desolations on the earth.
⁹^(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

Psalm 75

English Standard Version

God Will Judge with Equity

To the choirmaster: according to ^(A)Do Not Destroy. ^(B)A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

75 We give thanks to you, O God;
we give thanks, for your name is ^(C)near.
We^[a] recount your wondrous deeds.

²“At ^(D)the set time that I appoint
    I will judge ^(E)with equity.
³When the earth ^(F)totters, and all its inhabitants,
    it is I who keep steady its ^(G)pillars. Selah
⁴I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’
    and to the wicked, ^(H)‘Do not lift up your horn;
⁵do not lift up your horn on high,
    or speak with haughty neck.’”

⁶For not from the east or from the west
    and not from the wilderness comes ^(I)lifting up,
⁷but it is ^(J)God who executes judgment,
    ^(K)putting down one and lifting up another.
⁸^(L)For in the hand of the Lord there is ^(M)a cup
    with foaming wine, ^(N)well mixed,
and he pours out from it,
    and all the wicked of the earth
    shall ^(O)drain it down to the dregs.

⁹But I will declare it forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
¹⁰^(P)All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,
^(Q)but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

Psalm 76

English Standard Version

Who Can Stand Before You?

To the choirmaster: with ^(A)stringed instruments. A Psalm of ^(B)Asaph. A Song.

76 In Judah God is ^(C)known;
    his name is great in Israel.
²His ^(D)abode has been established in ^(E)Salem,
    his ^(F)dwelling place in Zion.
³There he ^(G)broke the flashing arrows,
    the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah

⁴Glorious are you, more majestic
    ^(H)than the mountains full of ^(I)prey.
⁵^(J)The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil;
    ^(K)they sank into sleep;
all the men of war
    were unable to use their hands.
⁶At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
    both ^(L)rider and horse lay stunned.

⁷^(M)But you, you are to be feared!
    Who can ^(N)stand before you
    when once your anger is roused?
⁸From the heavens you uttered judgment;
    ^(O)the earth feared and was still,
⁹when God ^(P)arose to establish judgment,
    to save all the humble of the earth. Selah

¹⁰Surely ^(Q)the wrath of man shall praise you;
    the remnant^[a] of wrath you will put on like a belt.
¹¹^(R)Make your vows to the Lord your God and perform them;
    let all around him ^(S)bring gifts
    to him who ^(T)is to be feared,
¹²who ^(U)cuts off the spirit of princes,
    who ^(V)is to be feared by the kings of the earth.
