they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.
[16] Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children,
whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.
[17] I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore
shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
Pss.46
[1] God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
[2] Therefore will not we fear, though
the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
[3] Though the
waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
[4]
There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles
of the most High.
[5] God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right
early.
[6] The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
[7] The
LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
[8] Come, behold the works of the LORD,
what desolations he hath made in the earth.
[9] 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.
[10] Be still, and
know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
[11] The LORD
of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
Pss.47
[1] O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
[2] For the LORD most
high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.
[3] He shall subdue the people under us, and the
nations under our feet.
[4] He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved.
Selah.
[5] God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
[6] Sing praises to God,
sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
[7] For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises
with understanding.
[8] God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.
[9] 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.
Pss.48
[1] Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
[2]
Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of
the great King.
[3] God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
[4] For, lo, the kings were assembled, they
passed by together.
[5] They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.
[6] Fear
took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
[7] Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish
with an east wind.
[8] 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.
[9] We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the
midst of thy temple.
[10] According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy
right hand is full of righteousness.
[11] Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because
of thy judgments.
[12] Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
[13] Mark ye well
her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
[14] For this God is our
God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
Pss.49
[1] Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:
[2] Both low and high, rich and poor,
together.
[3] My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
[4]
I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
[5] Wherefore should I fear
in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
[6] They that trust in their
wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
[7] None of them can by any means redeem
his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
[8] (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it
ceaseth for ever:)
[9] That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
[10] For he seeth that wise
men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
[11] Their inward
thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they
