Psalm 46
- To the chief Musician for the sons
of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth.
God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore will not we fear, though the
earth be removed, and though the mountains
be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though the waters thereof roar and
be troubled, though the mountains
shake with the swelling thereof.
Selah.
There is a river, the streams whereof
shall make glad the city of God, the holy
place of the tabernacles of the most High.
God is in the midst of her; she
shall not be moved: God shall
help her, and that right early.
The heathen raged, the kingdoms
were moved: he uttered his
voice, the earth melted.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.
Come, behold the works of the Lord, what
desolations he hath made in the earth.
He maketh wars to cease unto the end
of the earth; he breaketh the bow,
and cutteth the spear in sunder;
he burneth the chariot in the fire.
Be still, and know that I am God:
I will be exalted among the heathen,
I will be exalted in the earth.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.
Psalm 47 - To the chief Musician,
A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
O clap your hands, all ye people; shout
unto God with the voice of triumph.
For the Lord most high is terrible;
he is a great King over all the earth.
He shall subdue the people under
us, and the nations under our feet.
He shall choose our inheritance for us,
the excellency of Jacob whom he loved.
Selah.
God is gone up with a shout, the
Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing
praises unto our King, sing praises.
For God is the King of all the earth:
sing ye praises with understanding.
God reigneth over the heathen: God
sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.
The princes of the people are gathered
together, even the people of the God of
Abraham: for the shields of the earth
belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.
Psalm
48 - A Song and Psalm
for the sons of Korah.
Great is the Lord, and greatly to
be praised in the city of our God,
in the mountain of his holiness.
Beautiful for situation, the joy of the
whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides
of the north, the city of the great King.
God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
For, lo, the kings were assembled,
they passed by together.
They saw it, and so they marvelled;
they were troubled, and hasted away.
Fear took hold upon them there,
and pain, as of a woman in travail.
Thou breakest the ships of
Tarshish with an east wind.
As we have heard, so have we seen in the
city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of
our God: God will establish it for ever.
Selah.
We have thought of thy lovingkindness,
O God, in the midst of thy temple.
According to thy name, O God, so is thy
praise unto the ends of the earth: thy
right hand is full of righteousness.
Let mount Zion rejoice, let
the daughters of Judah be
glad, because of thy judgments.
Walk about Zion, and go round
about her: tell the towers thereof.
Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider
her palaces; that ye may tell
it to the generation following.
For this God is our God for ever and ever:
he will be our guide even unto death.
Psalm 49 - To the chief Musician,
A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
Hear this, all ye people; give ear,
all ye inhabitants of the world:
Both low and high, rich
and poor, together.
My mouth shall speak of wisdom;
and the meditation of my heart
shall be of understanding.
I will incline mine ear to a parable: I
will open my dark saying upon the harp.
Wherefore should I fear in the
days of evil, when the iniquity of
my heels shall compass me about?
They that trust in their wealth,
and boast themselves in the
multitude of their riches;
None of them can by any means redeem his
brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
[For the redemption of their soul is
precious, and it ceaseth for ever:]
That he should still live for
ever, and not see corruption.
For he seeth that wise men die, likewise
the fool and the brutish person perish,
and leave their wealth to others.
Their inward thought is, that their
houses shall continue for ever, and their
dwelling places to all generations; they
call their lands after their own names.
Nevertheless man being in honour abideth
not: he is like the beasts that perish.
This their way is their folly: yet
their posterity approve their sayings.
Selah.
Like sheep they are laid in the grave;
death shall feed on them; and the
upright shall have dominion over them
in the morning; and their beauty shall
consume in the grave from their dwelling.
But God will redeem my soul from the power
of the grave: for he shall receive me.
Selah.
Be not thou afraid when one is made
rich, when the glory of his house
is increased; For when he dieth
he shall carry nothing away: his
glory shall not descend after him.
Though while he lived he blessed
his soul: and men will praise thee,
when thou doest well to thyself.
He shall go to the generation of his
fathers; they shall never see light.
Man that is in honour, and understandeth
not, is like the beasts that perish.
Psalm 50 - A Psalm of Asaph.
The mighty God, even the Lord,
hath spoken, and called the
earth from the rising of the
sun unto the going down thereof.
Out of Zion, the perfection
of beauty, God hath shined.
Our God shall come, and shall
not keep silence: a fire shall
devour before him, and it shall be
very tempestuous round about him.
He shall call to the heavens
from above, and to the earth,
that he may judge his people.
Gather my saints together unto
me; those that have made a
covenant with me by sacrifice.
And the heavens shall declare his
righteousness: for God is judge himself.
Selah.
Hear, O my people, and I will speak;
O Israel, and I will testify against
thee: I am God, even thy God.
I will not reprove thee for thy
sacrifices or thy burnt offerings,
to have been continually before me.
I will take no bullock out of thy
house, nor he goats out of thy folds.
For every beast of the forest is mine,
and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
I know all the fowls of the mountains:
and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
If I were hungry, I would not
tell thee: for the world is
mine, and the fulness thereof.
Will I eat the flesh of bulls,
or drink the blood of goats?
Offer unto God thanksgiving; and
pay thy vows unto the most High:
And call upon me in the day of
trouble: I will deliver thee,
and thou shalt glorify me.
But unto the wicked God saith,
What hast thou to do to declare my
statutes, or that thou shouldest
take my covenant in thy mouth?
Seeing thou hatest instruction,
and casteth my words behind thee.
When thou sawest a thief, then
thou consentedst with him, and
hast been partaker with adulterers.
Thou givest thy mouth to evil,
and thy tongue frameth deceit.
Thou sittest and speakest against
thy brother; thou slanderest
thine own mother's son.
These things hast thou done, and I
kept silence; thou thoughtest that
I was altogether such an one as
thyself: but I will reprove thee, and
set them in order before thine eyes.
Now consider this, ye that forget
God, lest I tear you in pieces,
and there be none to deliver.
Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and
to him that ordereth his conversation
aright will I shew the salvation of God.
