1(46) For the end, for the sons of Core; a Psalm concerning secret things. God is our refuge and strength, a help in the afflictions that have come heavily upon us.
1My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2Therefore will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed into the depths of the seas.
2Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
3Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by his might. Pause.
3Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
4The flowings of the river gladden the city of God: the Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.
4And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her with his countenance.
5Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
6The nations were troubled, the kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, the earth shook.
6Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
7The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper. Pause.
7Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
8Come, and behold the works of the Lord, what wonders he has achieved on the earth.
8All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
9Putting an end to wars as for the ends of the earth; he will crush the bow, and break in pieces the weapon, and burn the bucklers with fire.
9Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
10Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house;
11The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper.
11So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
