1(47) For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core. Clap your hands, all you⌃ nations; shout to God with a voice of exultation.
1God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2For the Lord most high is terrible; [he is] a great king over all the earth.
2Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3He has subdued the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.
3Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
4He has chosen out his inheritance for us, the beauty of Jacob which he loved. Pause.
4There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with a sound of a trumpet.
5God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
6Sing praises to our God, sing praises: sing praises to our King, sing praises.
6The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7For God is king of all the earth: sing praises with understanding.
7The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8God reigns over the nations: God sits upon the throne of his holiness.
8Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9The rulers of the people are assembled with the God of Abraam: for God's mighty ones of the earth have been greatly exalted.
9He 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.
