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 gives 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

Romans 15:8-21

English Standard Version

Christ the Hope of Jews and Gentiles

⁸For I tell you that Christ ^(A)became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order ^(B)to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, ⁹and in order ^(C)that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,

^(D)“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles,
and sing to your name.”

¹⁰And again it is said,

^(E)“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”

¹¹And again,

^(F)“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and let all the peoples extol him.”

¹²And again Isaiah says,

^(G)^(H)“The root of Jesse will come,
even he who arises to rule the Gentiles;
^(I)in him will the Gentiles hope.”

¹³May the God of hope fill you with all ^(J)joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

Paul the Minister to the Gentiles

¹⁴^(K)I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers,^[a] that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with ^(L)all knowledge and able to instruct one another. ¹⁵But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, ^(M)because of the grace given me by God ¹⁶to be ^(N)a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles ^(O)in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that ^(P)the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. ¹⁷In Christ Jesus, then, I have ^(Q)reason to be proud of ^(R)my work for God. ¹⁸For I will not venture to speak of anything except ^(S)what Christ has accomplished through me ^(T)to bring the Gentiles to obedience—by word and deed, ¹⁹^(U)by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God—so that ^(V)from Jerusalem and all the way around ^(W)to Illyricum I have fulfilled the ministry of the gospel of Christ; ²⁰and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, ^(X)lest I build on someone else's foundation, ²¹but as it is written,
