Psalms 45:13-48:14
Chapter 45
13 In her chamber, the royal daughter is all glorious,
her clothing embroidered with gold.(p)
14 In colorful garments she is led to the king;
after her, the virgins, her companions, are brought to you.(q)
15 They are led in with gladness and rejoicing;
they enter the king's palace.(r)
16 Your sons will succeed your ancestors;
you will make them princes throughout the land.(s)
17 I will cause your name to be remembered for all generations;
therefore the peoples will praise you forever and ever.(t)
Chapter 46
Psalm 46
God Our Refuge
For the choir director. A song of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.[a](a)
1 God is our refuge and strength,
a helper who is always found
in times of trouble.(b)
2 Therefore we will not be afraid,
though the earth trembles
and the mountains topple
into the depths of the seas,(c)
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with its turmoil.(d)
4 There is a river—
its streams delight the city of God,
the holy dwelling place of the Most High.(e)
5 God is within her; she will not be toppled.
God will help her when the morning dawns.(f)
6 Nations rage, kingdoms topple;
the earth melts when He lifts His voice.(g)
7 The
Lord
of Hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.(h)
8 Come, see the works of the
Lord
,
who brings devastation on the earth.(i)
9 He makes wars cease throughout the earth.
He shatters bows and cuts spears to pieces;
He burns up the chariots.[b](j)
10 "Stop your fighting—and know that I am God,
exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth."(k)
11 Yahweh of Hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.(l)
Chapter 47
Psalm 47
God Our King
For the choir director. A psalm of the sons of Korah.
1 Clap your hands, all you peoples;(a)
shout to God with a jubilant cry.(b)
2 For Yahweh, the Most High, is awe-inspiring,
a great King over all the earth.(c)
3 He subdues peoples under us
and nations under our feet.(d)
4 He chooses for us our inheritance—
the pride of Jacob, whom He loves.(e)
5 God ascends among shouts of joy,
the
Lord
, among the sound of trumpets.(f)
6 Sing praise to God, sing praise;
sing praise to our King, sing praise!(g)
7 Sing a song of wisdom,[a]
for God is King of all the earth.(h)
8 God reigns over the nations;
God is seated on His holy throne.(i)
9 The nobles of the peoples have assembled
with the people of the God of Abraham.(j)
For the leaders[b] of the earth belong to God;
He is greatly exalted.(k)
Chapter 48
Psalm 48
Zion Exalted
A song. A psalm of the sons of Korah.
1 The
Lord
is great and highly praised
in the city of our God.(a)
His holy mountain,
2 rising splendidly,
is the joy of the whole earth.
Mount Zion on the slopes of the north
is the city of the great King.(b)
3 God is known as a stronghold
in its citadels.(c)
4 Look! The kings assembled;
they advanced together.(d)
5 They looked and froze with fear;
they fled in terror.(e)
6 Trembling seized them there,
agony like that of a woman in labor,(f)
7 as You wrecked the ships of Tarshish
with the east wind.(g)
8 Just as we heard, so we have seen
in the city of Yahweh of Hosts,
in the city of our God;
God will establish it forever.(h)
9 God, within Your temple,
we contemplate Your faithful love.(i)
10 Your name, God, like Your praise,
reaches to the ends of the earth;(j)
Your right hand is filled with justice.(k)
11 Mount Zion is glad.
The towns[a] of Judah rejoice
because of Your judgments.(l)
12 Go around Zion, encircle it;
count its towers,
13 note its ramparts; tour its citadels
so that you can tell a future generation:(m)
14 "This God, our God forever and ever—
He will always lead us."[b](n)
