Psalm 45

1 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.

2 Thou art fairer than the children of men; Grace is poured into thy lips: Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, Thy glory and thy majesty.

4 And in thy majesty ride on prosperously, Because of truth and meekness and righteousness: And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

5 Thine arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under thee; They are in the heart of the king’s enemies.

6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

7 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

9 Kings’ daughters are among thy honorable women: At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; Forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house:

11 So will the king desire thy beauty; For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.

12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.

13 The king’s daughter within the palace is all glorious: Her clothing is inwrought with gold.

14 She shall be led unto the king in broidered work: The virgins her companions that follow her Shall be brought unto thee.

15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led: They shall enter into the king’s palace.

16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, Whom thou shalt make princes in all the earth.

17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: Therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever.

Psalm 46

1 God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, And though the mountains be shaken into the heart of the seas;

3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, Though the mountains tremble with the swelling thereof. Selah

4 There is a river, the streams whereof 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 will help her, and that right early.

6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved: He uttered his voice, the earth melted.

7 Jehovah of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

8 Come, behold the works of Jehovah, 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 chariots in the fire.

10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

11 Jehovah of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

Psalm 47

1 Oh clap your hands, all ye peoples; Shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

2 For Jehovah Most High is terrible; He is a great King over all the earth.

3 He subdueth peoples under us, And nations under our feet.

4 He chooseth our inheritance for us, The glory of Jacob whom he loved. Selah

5 God is gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

6 Sing praise 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 nations: God sitteth upon his holy throne.

9 The 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.
