PSALMS
- With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
- 9Myrrh, and aloes, and cassia are all thy garments;
- Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.
- 10Kings' daughters are among thy favourites;
- At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
- 11'Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear;
- Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;
- 12So shall the king desire thy beauty;
- For he is thy lord; and do homage unto him.
- 13And, O daughter of Tyre, the richest of the people
- Shall entreat thy favour with a gift.'
- 14All glorious is the king's daughter within the palace;
- Her raiment is of chequer work inwrought with gold.
- 15She shall be led unto the king on richly woven stuff;
- The virgins her companions in her train being brought unto thee.
- 16They shall be led with gladness and rejoicing;
- They shall enter into the king's palace.
- 17Instead of thy fathers shall be thy sons,
- Whom thou shalt make princes in all the land.
- 18I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations;
- Therefore shall the peoples praise thee for ever and ever.
46 For the Leader; [a Psalm] of the sons of Korah; upon Alamoth. A Song.
- 2God is our refuge and strength,
- A very present help in trouble.
- 3Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change,
- And though the mountains be moved into the heart of the seas;
- 4Though the waters thereof roar and foam,
- Though the mountains shake at the swelling thereof. Selah
- 5There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God,
- The holiest dwelling-place of the Most High.
- 6God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;
- God shall help her, at the approach of morning.
- 7Nations were in tumult, kingdoms were moved;
- He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
- 8The Lord of hosts is with us;
- The God of Jacob is our high tower. Selah
- 9Come, behold the works of the Lord,
- Who hath made desolations in the earth.
- 10He 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.
- 11'Let be, and know that I am God;
- I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'
- 12The Lord of hosts is with us;
- The God of Jacob is our high tower. Selah
47 For the Leader; a Psalm of the sons of Korah.
- 2O clap your hands, all ye peoples;
- Shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
