{46:1} God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
{46:2} Therefore we won't be afraid, though the earth changes,
though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;
{46:3} though its waters roar and are troubled,
though the mountains tremble with their swelling.
Selah.
{46:4} There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God
glad,
the holy place of the tents of the Most High.
{46:5} God is in her midst. She shall not be moved.
God will help her at dawn.
{46:6} The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved.
He lifted his voice, and the earth melted.
{46:7} Yahweh of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.
{46:8} Come, see Yahweh's works,
what desolations he has made in the earth.
{46:9} He makes wars cease to the end of the earth.
He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear.
He burns the chariots in the fire.
{46:10} "Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations.
I will be exalted in the earth."
{46:11} Yahweh of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.

{47:1} Oh clap your hands, all you nations.
Shout to God with the voice of triumph!
{47:2} For Yahweh Most High is awesome.
He is a great King over all the earth.
{47:3} He subdues nations under us,
and peoples under our feet.
{47:4} He chooses our inheritance for us,
the glory of Jacob whom he loved.
Selah.
{47:5} God has gone up with a shout,
Yahweh with the sound of a trumpet.

Sing praises with understanding.
{47:8} God reigns over the nations.

the people of the God of Abraham.
For the shields of the earth belong to God.
He is greatly exalted!
Psalm 48
A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.
{48:1} Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised,
in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
{48:2} Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth,
is Mount Zion, on the north sides,
the city of the great King.
{48:3} God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
{48:4} For, behold, the kings assembled themselves,
they passed by together.
{48:5} They saw it, then they were amazed.
They were dismayed.
They hurried away.
{48:6} Trembling took hold of them there,
pain, as of a woman in travail.
{48:7} With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
{48:8} As we have heard, so we have seen,
in the city of Yahweh of Armies, in the city of our God.
God will establish it forever.
Selah.
{48:9} We have thought about your loving kindness, God,
in the midst of your temple.
{48:10} As is your name, God,
so is your praise to the ends of the earth.
Your right hand is full of righteousness.
{48:11} Let Mount Zion be glad!
Let the daughters of Judah rejoice,
Because of your judgments.
{48:12} Walk about Zion, and go around her.
Number its towers.
{48:13} Mark well her bulwarks.
Consider her palaces,
that you may tell it to the next generation.
{48:14} For this God is our God forever and ever.
He will be our guide even to death.
