Psalm 46-47
Legacy Standard Bible

God Is Our Refuge and Strength

For the choir director. Of the sons of Korah. [a]According to Alamoth. A Song.

46 God is our (A)refuge and strength,
[b]A very (B)present help (C)in [c]trouble.
2 Therefore we will (D)not fear, though (E)the earth should change
And though (F)the mountains shake into the heart of the [d]sea;
3 Though its (G)waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its lofty pride. [e]Selah.

4 There is a (H)river whose streams make glad the (I)city of God,
The holy (J)dwelling places of the Most High.
5 God is (K)in the midst of her, she will not be shaken;
God will (L)help her [f]when morning dawns.
6 The [g]nations (M)roar, the kingdoms shake;
He (N)gives His voice, the earth (O)melts.
7 Yahweh of hosts (P)is with us;
The God of Jacob is (Q)our stronghold. Selah.

8 Come, (R)behold the works of Yahweh,
[h]Who has appointed (S)desolations in the earth.
9 He (T)makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He (U)breaks the bow and cuts up the spear;
He (V)burns the chariots with fire.
10 “[i]Cease striving and (W)know that I am God;
I will be (X)exalted among the [j]nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
11 Yahweh of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.

God Is King of All the Earth

For the choir director. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.

47 O (Y)clap your hands, all peoples;
(Z)Make a loud shout to God with the sound of a shout of [k]joy.
2 For Yahweh Most High is [l](AA)fearsome,
A (AB)great King over all the earth.
3 He (AC)subdues peoples under us
And nations under our feet.
4 He chooses our (AD)inheritance for us,
The (AE)pride of Jacob whom He loves. [m]Selah.

5 God has (AF)ascended [n]with a loud shout,
Yahweh, [o]with the (AG)sound of a trumpet.
6 (AH)Sing praises to God, sing praises;
Sing praises to (AI)our King, sing praises.
7 For God is the (AJ)King of all the earth;
Sing praises (AK)with a [p]skillful psalm.
8 God (AL)reigns over the nations,
God [q]sits on (AM)His holy throne.
9 The (AN)nobles of the peoples have assembled themselves with the (AO)people of the God of Abraham,
For the (AP)shields of the earth belong to God;
He [r]is (AQ)highly exalted.
