Psalm 47

To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.

47 All ye peoples, clap your hands; shout unto God with the voice of triumph!

For Jehovah, the Most High, is terrible, a great king over all the earth.

He subdueth the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.

He hath chosen our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

God is gone up amid shouting, Jehovah amid the sound of the trumpet.

Sing psalms of God, sing psalms; sing psalms unto our King, sing psalms!

For God is the King of all the earth; sing psalms with understanding.

God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

The willing-hearted of the peoples have gathered together, [with] the people of the God of Abraham. For unto God [belong] the shields of the earth: he is greatly exalted.

Isaiah 51:1-3

51 Hearken unto me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek Jehovah: look unto the rock [whence] ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit [whence] ye were digged.

Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bore you; for I called him when he was alone, and blessed him, and multiplied him.

For Jehovah shall comfort Zion, he shall comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah: gladness and joy shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of song.

Matthew 11:20-24

20 Then began he to reproach the cities in which most of his works of power had taken place, because they had not repented.

21 Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee Bethsaida! for if the works of power which have taken place in you, had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented in sackcloth and ashes.

22 But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in judgment-day than for you.

23 And *thou*, Capernaum, who hast been raised up to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades. For if the works of power which have taken place in thee, had taken place in Sodom, it had remained until this day.

24 But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for [the] land of Sodom in judgment-day than for thee.
