Bible-Reading.comPsalm 45
1For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves. My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter: I speak the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2Thou art fairer than the children of men; grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
3Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, thy glory and thy majesty.
4And in thy majesty ride on prosperously, because of truth and meekness and righteousness: and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5Thine arrows are sharp; the peoples fall under thee; they are in the heart of the king’s enemies.
6Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
7Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
8All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia; out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.
9Kings’ daughters are among thy honourable women: at thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house;
11So shall the king desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
12And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall entreat thy favour.
13The king’s daughter within the palace is all glorious: her clothing is inwrought with gold.
14She shall be led unto the king in broidered work: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
15With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led: they shall enter into the king’s palace.
16Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou shalt make princes in all the earth.
17I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever.
Psalm 46
1For the Chief Musician: a Psalm of the sons of Korah; set to Alamoth. A Song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, and though the mountains be moved in the heart of the seas;
3Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah
4There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
5God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
6The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
8Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariots in the fire.
10Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
11The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
Psalm 47
1For the Chief Musician; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. O clap your hands, all ye peoples; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
2For the LORD Most High is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.
3He shall subdue the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.
4He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah
5God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
6Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
7For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.
8God reigneth over the nations: God sitteth upon his holy throne.
9The princes of the peoples are gathered together to be the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God; he is greatly exalted.
