Psa 46:8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations He hath made in the earth.

Psa 46:9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariot in the fire.

Psa 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

Psa 46:11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

Psa 48:2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

Psa 48:3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

Psa 48:4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.

Psa 48:5 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.

Psalms 49

Psa 49:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Ko´-rah. Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:

Psa 49:2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

Psa 49:3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

Psa 49:4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

Psa 49:5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?

Psa 49:6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;

Psa 49:7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:

Psa 49:8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)

Psa 49:9 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.

Psa 49:10 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

Psa 49:11 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.

Psa 49:12 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.

Psa 49:13 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.

Psa 49:14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.

Psa 49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for He shall receive me. Selah.

Psa 49:16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;

Psa 49:17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.

Psa 49:18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.

Psa 49:19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.

Psa 49:20 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.

Psalms 50

Psa 50:1 A Psalm of A´-saph. The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

Psa 50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.

Psa 50:3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before Him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about Him.

Psa 50:4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that He may judge His people.

Psa 50:5 Gather My saints together unto Me; those that have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.

Psa 50:6 And the heavens shall declare His righteousness: for God is judge Himself. Selah.

Psa 50:7 Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.

Psa 50:8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before Me.

Psa 50:9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.

Psa 50:10 For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

Psa 50:11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are Mine.

Psa 50:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is Mine, and the fulness thereof.

Psa 50:13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

Psa 50:14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most High:

Psa 50:15 And call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me.

Psa 50:16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare My statutes, or that thou shouldest take My covenant in thy mouth?

Psa 50:17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest My words behind thee.

Psa 50:18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.

Psa 50:19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

Psa 50:20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.

Psa 50:21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

Psa 50:22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

Psa 50:23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
