Psalm 46-47

New King James Version

God the Refuge of His People and Conqueror of the Nations

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song ^(A)for Alamoth.

46 God is our ^(B)refuge and strength,
^(C)A^[a] very present help in trouble.
²Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the ^[b]midst of the sea;
³^(D)Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah

⁴There is a ^(E)river whose streams shall make glad the ^(F)city of God,
The holy place of the ^[c]tabernacle of the Most High.
⁵God is ^(G)in the midst of her, she shall not be ^[d]moved;
God shall help her, just ^[e]at the break of dawn.
⁶^(H)The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved;
He uttered His voice, the earth melted.

⁷The ^(I)Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

⁸Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has made desolations in the earth.
⁹^(J)He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
^(K)He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
^(L)He burns the chariot in the fire.

¹⁰Be still, and know that I am God;
^(M)I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!

¹¹The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

Praise to God, the Ruler of the Earth

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

47 Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples!
Shout to God with the voice of triumph!
²For the Lord Most High is awesome;
He is a great ^(N)King over all the earth.
³^(O)He will subdue the peoples under us,
And the nations under our feet.
⁴He will choose our ^(P)inheritance for us,
The excellence of Jacob whom He loves. Selah

⁵^(Q)God has gone up with a shout,
The Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
⁶Sing praises to God, sing praises!
Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
⁷^(R)For God is the King of all the earth;
^(S)Sing praises with understanding.

⁸^(T)God reigns over the nations;
God ^(U)sits on His ^(V)holy throne.
⁹The princes of the people have gathered together,
^(W)The people of the God of Abraham.
^(X)For the shields of the earth belong to God;
He is greatly exalted.
