1 Unto the end, for the sons of Core.

2 O clap your hands, all ye nations: shout unto God with the voice of joy,

4 He hath subdued the people under us; and the nations under our feet.

5 He hath chosen for us his inheritance, the beauty of Jacob which he hath loved.

6 God is ascended with jubilee, and the Lord with the sound of trumpet.

7 Sing praises to our God, sing ye: sing praises to our king, sing ye.

8 For God is the king of all the earth: sing ye wisely.

9 God shall reign over the nations: God sitteth on his holy throne.

10 The princes of the people are gathered together, with the God of Abraham: for the strong gods of the earth are exceedingly exalted.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Psalm 46 declare?
Psalm 46 declares confidence in God as protector even amid cosmic upheaval -- 'though the earth be removed' (v.2) -- describing a river that gladdens the city of God (v.4) and closing with God's command, 'Be still, and know that I am God' (v.10).
What does verse 1 mean by 'God is our refuge and strength'?
It sets up the psalm's central claim that God is 'a very present help in trouble,' meaning immediately available rather than distant. See Psalms 46:1.
What does 'Be still, and know that I am God' mean in verse 10?
It's God's own command in the middle of describing wars and desolations (vv.8-9), calling for trust and stillness rather than striving, since he 'will be exalted among the heathen.'
