Your Throne, O God, Is Forever

For the choir director. According to ¹Shoshannim. Of the sons of Korah. A ²Maskil. A Song of Love.

My heart ³overflows with a good theme;I ⁴address my ⁵verses to the ⁶King;My tongue is the pen of ^aa skillful scribe.²You are fairer than the sons of men;^aGrace is poured ¹upon Your lips;Therefore God has ^bblessed You forever.³Gird ^aYour sword on Your thigh, O ¹^,^bMighty One,In Your splendor and Your majesty!⁴And in Your majesty ride on victoriously,For the cause of truth and ^ameekness and righteousness;Let Your ^bright hand teach You ¹awesome things.⁵Your ^aarrows are sharp;The ^bpeoples fall under You;Your arrows are ^cin the heart of the King’s enemies.⁶^aYour throne, O God, is forever and ever;A scepter of ^buprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.⁷You have ^aloved righteousness and hated wickedness;Therefore God, Your God, has ^banointed YouWith the oil of joy above Your companions.⁸All Your garments are fragrant with ^amyrrh and aloes and cassia;Out of ivory palaces ^bstringed instruments have made You glad.⁹Kings’ daughters are among ^aYour noble ladies;At Your ^bright hand stands the queen in ^cgold from Ophir.¹⁰Listen, O daughter, give attention and incline your ear:^aForget your people and your father’s house;¹¹Then the King will desire your beauty.Because He is your ^aLord, ^bbow down to Him.¹²The daughter of ^aTyre will come with a present;The ^brich among the people will seek your favor.¹³The King’s daughter is all glorious within her chamber;Her clothing is ^ainterwoven with gold.¹⁴She will be ^aled to the King ^bin embroidered work;The ^cvirgins, her companions who follow her,Will be brought to You.¹⁵They will be led forth with gladness and rejoicing;They will enter into the King’s palace.¹⁶In place of your fathers will be your sons;You shall set them up as princes in all the earth.¹⁷I will cause ^aYour name to be remembered from generation to every generation;Therefore the peoples ^bwill give You thanks forever and ever.

God Is Our Refuge and Strength

For the choir director. Of the sons of Korah. ¹According to Alamoth. A Song.

God is our ^arefuge and strength,²A very ^bpresent help ^cin ³trouble.²Therefore we will ^anot fear, though ^bthe earth should changeAnd though ^cthe mountains shake into the heart of the ¹sea;³Though its ^awaters roar and foam,Though the mountains quake at its lofty pride. ¹ Selah.⁴There is a ^ariver whose streams make glad the ^bcity of God,The holy ^cdwelling places of the Most High.⁵God is ^ain the midst of her, she will not be shaken;God will ^bhelp her ¹when morning dawns.⁶The ¹nations ^aroar, the kingdoms shake;He ^bgives His voice, the earth ^cmelts.⁷Yahweh of hosts ^ais with us;The God of Jacob is ^bour stronghold. Selah.⁸Come, ^abehold the works of Yahweh,¹Who has appointed ^bdesolations in the earth.⁹He ^amakes wars to cease to the end of the earth;He ^bbreaks the bow and cuts up the spear;He ^cburns the chariots with fire.¹⁰“¹Cease striving and ^aknow that I am God;I will be ^bexalted among the ²nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”¹¹Yahweh of hosts is with us;The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.
