Read Psalm Chapters 46 and 47
Key Verses: Psalm 46:1 and 47:1-2…
1 God is our refuge and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble.
2 So we will not fear when earthquakes come
and the mountains crumble into the sea.
3 Let the oceans roar and foam.
Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!
4 A river brings joy to the city of our God,
the sacred home of the Most High.
5 God dwells in that city; it cannot be destroyed.
From the very break of day, God will protect it.
6 The nations are in chaos,
and their kingdoms crumble!
God’s voice thunders,
and the earth melts!
7 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us;
the God of Israel is our fortress.
8 Come, see the glorious works of the Lord:
See how He brings destruction upon the world.
9 He causes wars to end throughout the earth.
He breaks the bow and snaps the spear;
He burns the shields with fire.
10 “Be still, and know that I am God!
I will be honored by every nation.
I will be honored throughout the world.”
11 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us;
the God of Israel is our fortress.
47:1 Come, everyone! Clap your hands!
Shout to God with joyful praise!
2 For the Lord Most High is awesome.
He is the great King of all the earth.
3 He subdues the nations before us,
putting our enemies beneath our feet.
4 He chose the Promised Land as our inheritance,
the proud possession of Jacob’s descendants, whom He loves.
5 God has ascended with a mighty shout.
The Lord has ascended with trumpets blaring.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises;
sing praises to our King, sing praises!
7 For God is the King over all the earth.
Praise Him with a psalm.
8 God reigns above the nations,
sitting on His holy throne.
9 The rulers of the world have gathered together
with the people of the God of Abraham.
For all the kings of the earth belong to God.
He is highly honored everywhere.
PRAYER:
Almighty God, how grateful I am that You are my refuge and my strength! In times of trouble where everything around me seems to be falling apart, I will not be afraid because I know You have everything in Your control. Even when the trouble around me does not change, I will shout Your Name in Praise! I will sing praises to You, O Lord! You reign from Your Holy Throne and You are worthy of all my honor and all my praise. Amen.
