Psalm
47
1
All you nations, clap your hands! Shout out to God in celebration!
2
For the sovereign LORD is awe-inspiring; he is the great king who rules the whole earth!
3
He subdued nations beneath us and countries under our feet.
4
He picked out for us a special land to be a source of pride for Jacob, whom he loves. (Selah)
5
God has ascended his throne amid loud shouts; the LORD has ascended his throne amid the blaring of ram's horns.
6
Sing to God! Sing! Sing to our king! Sing!
7
For God is king of the whole earth! Sing a well-written song!
8
God reigns over the nations! God sits on his holy throne!
9
The nobles of the nations assemble, along with the people of the God of Abraham, for God has authority over the rulers of the earth. He is highly exalted!
48
1
The LORD is great and certainly worthy of praise in the city of our God, his holy hill.
2
It is lofty and pleasing to look at, a source of joy to the whole earth. Mount Zion resembles the peaks of Zaphon; it is the city of the great king.
3
God is in its fortresses; he reveals himself as its defender.
4
For look, the kings assemble; they advance together.
5
As soon as they see, they are shocked; they are terrified, they quickly retreat.
6
Look at them shake uncontrollably, like a woman writhing in childbirth.
7
With an east wind you shatter the large ships.
8
We heard about God's mighty deeds, now we have seen them, in the city of the LORD, the invincible Warrior, in the city of our God. God makes it permanently secure. (Selah)
9
We reflect on your loyal love, O God, within your temple.
10
The praise you receive as far away as the ends of the earth is worthy of your reputation, O God. You execute justice!
11
Mount Zion rejoices; the towns of Judah are happy, because of your acts of judgment.
12
Walk around Zion! Encircle it! Count its towers!
13
Consider its defenses! Walk through its fortresses, so you can tell the next generation about it!
14
For God, our God, is our defender forever! He guides us!
49
1
Listen to this, all you nations! Pay attention, all you inhabitants of the world!
2
Pay attention, all you people, both rich and poor!
3
I will declare a wise saying; I will share my profound thoughts.
4
I will learn a song that imparts wisdom; I will then sing my insightful song to the accompaniment of a harp.
5
Why should I be afraid in times of trouble, when the sinful deeds of deceptive men threaten to overwhelm me?
6
They trust in their wealth and boast in their great riches.
7
Certainly a man cannot rescue his brother; he cannot pay God an adequate ransom price
8
(the ransom price for a human life is too high, and people go to their final destiny),
9
so that he might continue to live forever and not experience death.
10
Surely one sees that even wise people die; fools and spiritually insensitive people all pass away and leave their wealth to others.
11
Their grave becomes their permanent residence, their eternal dwelling place. They name their lands after themselves,
12
but, despite their wealth, people do not last, they are like animals that perish.
13
This is the destiny of fools, and of those who approve of their philosophy. (Selah)
14
They will travel to Sheol like sheep, with death as their shepherd. The godly will rule over them when the day of vindication dawns; Sheol will consume their bodies and they will no longer live in impressive houses.
15
But God will rescue my life from the power of Sheol; certainly he will pull me to safety. (Selah)
16
Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich and his wealth multiplies!
17
For he will take nothing with him when he dies; his wealth will not follow him down into the grave.
18
He pronounces this blessing on himself while he is alive: "May men praise you, for you have done well!"
19
But he will join his ancestors; they will never again see the light of day.
20
Wealthy people do not understand; they are like animals that perish.
