Psalm 47

1  Clap your hands together, all you peoples; ♦︎
   O sing to God with shouts of joy.
2  For the Lord Most High is to be feared; ♦︎
   he is the great King over all the earth.
3  He subdued the peoples under us ♦︎
   and the nations under our feet.
4  He has chosen our heritage for us, ♦︎
   the pride of Jacob, whom he loves.
5  God has gone up with a merry noise, ♦︎
   the Lord with the sound of the trumpet.
6  O sing praises to God, sing praises; ♦︎
   sing praises to our King, sing praises.
7  For God is the King of all the earth; ♦︎
   sing praises with all your skill.
8  God reigns over the nations; ♦︎
   God has taken his seat upon his holy throne.
9  The nobles of the peoples are gathered together ♦︎
   with the people of the God of Abraham.
10  For the powers of the earth belong to God ♦︎
   and he is very highly exalted.

Moses Dies and Is Buried in the Land of Moab

34Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho, and the Lord showed him the whole land: Gilead as far as Dan, ²all Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea, ³the Negeb, and the Plain—that is, the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees—as far as Zoar. ⁴The Lord said to him, ‘This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, “I will give it to your descendants”; I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there.’ ⁵Then Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the land of Moab, at the Lord’s command. ⁶He was buried in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor, but no one knows his burial place to this day. ⁷Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died; his sight was unimpaired and his vigour had not abated.

⁴But I have said these things to you so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you about them.

The Work of the Spirit

‘I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. ⁵But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, “Where are you going?” ⁶But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. ⁷Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Advocate^* will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. ⁸And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong about^* sin and righteousness and judgement: ⁹about sin, because they do not believe in me; ¹⁰about righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer; ¹¹about judgement, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.
