Psalm 46
|
1
(To the choir-master. Of the sons of Core. A psalm.)
2
Clap your hands, all you nations, in applause; acclaim your God with cries of rejoicing.
3
The Lord is high above us, and worthy of dread; he is the sovereign Ruler of all the earth;
4
he has tamed the nations to our will, bowed the Gentiles at our feet,
5
claimed us for his own portion, Jacob the fair, the well beloved.
6
God goes up, loud are the cries of victory; the Lord goes up, loudly the trumpets peal.
7
A psalm, a psalm for our God, a psalm, a psalm for our King!
8
God is King of all the earth; sound the hymn of praise!
9
God reigns over the heathen, God sits enthroned in holiness.
10
The rulers of the nations throw in their lot with us, that worship Abraham’s God; a God so high, he has all earth’s princes for his vassals.
