Psalm 46

¹God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
²Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
³Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
⁴There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
⁵God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
⁶The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
⁷The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
⁸Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
⁹He 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.
¹⁰Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
¹¹The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

Psalm 47

¹O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
²For the Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.
³He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.
⁴He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
⁵God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
⁶Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
⁷For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.
⁸God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.
⁹The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.

¹⁴For thus saith the Lord of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the Lord of hosts, and I repented not:
¹⁵So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.
¹⁶These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:
¹⁷And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the Lord.
¹⁸And the word of the Lord of hosts came unto me, saying,
¹⁹Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.
²⁰Thus saith the Lord of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
²¹And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts: I will go also.
²²Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord.
²³Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.

³⁴Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
³⁵But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
³⁶The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
³⁷That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
³⁸How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
³⁹And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
⁴⁰Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
⁴¹Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
⁴²And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
⁴³To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
⁴⁴While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
⁴⁵And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
⁴⁶For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
⁴⁷Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
⁴⁸And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
