Psalms:47-50
Seeker Overlay ON
*
O clap your hands ,
all ye people ;
shout unto God with the voice of triumph .
*
For the LORD most high is terrible ;
he is a great King over all the earth .
*
He shall subdue the people under us ,
and the nations under our feet .
*
He shall choose our inheritance for us ,
the excellency of Jacob whom he loved .
Selah .
*
God is gone up with a shout ,
the LORD with the sound of a trumpet .
*
Sing praises to God ,
sing praises :
sing praises unto our King ,
sing praises .
*
For God is the King of all the earth :
sing ye praises with understanding .
*
God reigneth over the heathen :
God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness .
*
The princes of the people are gathered together ,
even the people of the God of Abraham :
for the shields of the earth belong unto God :
he is greatly exalted .
*
Great is the LORD ,
and greatly to be praised in the city of our God ,
in the mountain of his holiness .
*
Beautiful for situation ,
the joy of the whole earth ,
is mount Zion ,
on the sides of the north ,
the city of the great King .
*
God is known in her palaces for a refuge .
*
For ,
lo ,
the kings were assembled ,
they passed by together .
*
They saw it ,
and so they marvelled ;
they were troubled ,
and hasted away .
*
Fear took hold upon them there ,
and pain ,
as of a woman in travail .
*
Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind .
*
As we have heard ,
so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts ,
in the city of our God :
God will establish it for ever .
Selah .
*
We have thought of thy lovingkindness ,
O God ,
in the midst of thy temple .
*
According to thy name ,
O God ,
so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth :
thy right hand is full of righteousness .
*
Let mount Zion rejoice ,
let the daughters of Judah be glad ,
because of thy judgments .
*
Walk about Zion ,
and go round about her :
tell the towers thereof .
*
Mark ye well her bulwarks ,
consider her palaces ;
that ye may tell it to the generation following .
*
For this God is our God for ever and ever :
he will be our guide even unto death .
*
Hear this ,
all ye people ;
give ear ,
all ye inhabitants of the world :
*
Both low and high ,
rich and poor ,
together .
*
My mouth shall speak of wisdom ;
and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding .
*
I will incline mine ear to a parable :
I will open my dark saying upon the harp .
*
Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil ,
when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about ?
*
They that trust in their wealth ,
and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches ;
*
None of them can by any means redeem his brother ,
nor give to God a ransom for him :
* (
For the redemption of their soul is precious ,
and it ceaseth for ever :)
*
That he should still live for ever ,
and not see corruption .
*
For he seeth that wise men die ,
likewise the fool and the brutish person perish ,
and leave their wealth to others .
*
Their inward thought is ,
that their houses shall continue for ever ,
and their dwelling places to all generations ;
they call their lands after their own names .
*
Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not :
he is like the beasts that perish .
*
This their way is their folly :
yet their posterity approve their sayings .
Selah .
*
Like sheep they are laid in the grave ;
death shall feed on them ;
and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning ;
and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling .
*
But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave :
for he shall receive me .
Selah .
*
Be not thou afraid when one is made rich ,
when the glory of his house is increased ;
*
For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away :
his glory shall not descend after him .
*
Though while he lived he blessed his soul :
and men will praise thee ,
when thou doest well to thyself .
*
He shall go to the generation of his fathers ;
they shall never see light .
*
Man that is in honour ,
and understandeth not ,
is like the beasts that perish .
*
The mighty God ,
even the LORD ,
hath spoken ,
and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof .
*
Out of Zion ,
the perfection of beauty ,
God hath shined .
*
Our God shall come ,
and shall not keep silence :
a fire shall devour before him ,
and it shall be very tempestuous round about him .
*
He shall call to the heavens from above ,
and to the earth ,
that he may judge his people .
*
Gather my saints together unto me ;
those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice .
*
And the heavens shall declare his righteousness :
for God is judge himself .
Selah .
*
Hear ,
O my people ,
and I will speak ;
O Israel ,
and I will testify against thee :
I am God ,
even thy God .
*
I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings ,
to have been continually before me .
*
I will take no bullock out of thy house ,
nor he goats out of thy folds .
*
For every beast of the forest is mine ,
and the cattle upon a thousand hills .
*
I know all the fowls of the mountains :
and the wild beasts of the field are mine .
*
If I were hungry ,
I would not tell thee :
for the world is mine ,
and the fulness thereof .
*
Will I eat the flesh of bulls ,
or drink the blood of goats ?
*
Offer unto God thanksgiving ;
and pay thy vows unto the most High :
*
And call upon me in the day of trouble :
I will deliver thee ,
and thou shalt glorify me .
*
But unto the wicked God saith ,
What hast thou to do to declare my statutes ,
or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth ?
*
Seeing thou hatest instruction ,
and castest my words behind thee .
*
When thou sawest a thief ,
then thou consentedst with him ,
and hast been partaker with adulterers .
*
Thou givest thy mouth to evil ,
and thy tongue frameth deceit .
*
Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother ;
thou slanderest thine own mother '
s son .
*
These things hast thou done ,
and I kept silence ;
thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself :
but I will reprove thee ,
and set them in order before thine eyes .
*
Now consider this ,
ye that forget God ,
lest I tear you in pieces ,
and there be none to deliver .
*
Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me :
and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God .
*
Have mercy upon me ,
O God ,
according to thy lovingkindness :
according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions .
