1(46) For the end, for the sons of Core; a Psalm concerning secret things. God is our refuge and strength, a help in the afflictions that have come heavily upon us.
1For the Chief Musician. Set to “The Lilies.” A contemplation by the sons of Korah. A wedding song. My heart overflows with a noble theme. I recite my verses for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.
2Therefore will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed into the depths of the seas.
2You are the most excellent of the sons of men. Grace has anointed your lips, therefore God has blessed you forever.
3Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by his might. Pause.
3Strap your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, in your splendor and your majesty.
4The flowings of the river gladden the city of God: the Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.
4In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.
5God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her with his countenance.
5Your arrows are sharp. The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king’s enemies.
6The nations were troubled, the kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, the earth shook.
6Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.
7The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper. Pause.
7You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
8Come, and behold the works of the Lord, what wonders he has achieved on the earth.
8All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.
9Putting an end to wars as for the ends of the earth; he will crush the bow, and break in pieces the weapon, and burn the bucklers with fire.
9Kings’ daughters are among your honorable women. At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.
10Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
10Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear. Forget your own people, and also your father’s house.
11The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper.
11So the king will desire your beauty, honor him, for he is your lord.
