supplicate your favor.

      13. All this glory is for the daughter of the king within;

      she is enwrapped in golden fringed finery and embroidery.

      14. The virgins in her train shall be brought to the king.

      Those who are related to her will be introduced to you.

      15. They shall be brought forth with gladness and rejoicing.

      They shall be ushered into the temple of the king.

      16. In place of your ancestors, children are born to you;

      you shall make them princes over

      all the land.

      17. They shall cause your name to be remembered,

      from generation to generation.

      Therefore the nations shall give you thanks for ever,

      even for ages and ages to come.

      Psalm 46

      1. Clap your hands all your nations;

      Shout to God with voices of exultation.

      2. For the Lord Most High is awesome,

      great king over all the earth.

      3. He has subdued peoples under us,

      the nations under our feet.

      4. He has chosen us as his inheritance,

      the beauty of Jacob which he loved.

      5. God has ascended with shouts of acclamation,

      the Lord to the sound of trumpet blasts!

      6. Sing praises to our God, sing praises!

      Sing praises to our King, sing praises!

      7. For God is king over all the earth;

      sing praises with heartfelt understanding.

      8. God reigns over the nations;

      God sits upon his holy throne.

      Psalm 49

      7. Hear, my people and I will speak to you, Israel,

      and I will bear witness to you: I am God your God.

      8. I will not reprove you for your sacrifices,

      your burnt-offering which are always before me.

      9. Nor will I take any bullocks from your house,

      nor he-goats from your flocks.

      10. For all the wild beasts of the thicket are mine,

      the cattle on the mountainsides and oxen.

      11. I lay claim to all the birds of the air,

      and the ripe fruits of the field belong

      to me.

      12. If I were hungry, I would not

      inform you,

      for the world is mine and all its fullness.

      13. Do I eat the flesh of bulls,

      or drink the blood of goats?

      14. Sacrifice to God a sacrifice of praise,

      and pay your vows to the Most High.

      15. Call upon me in the day of affliction,

      and I will deliver you and you

      will praise me.

      16. But to the sinner God has said,

      “Why do you declare my ordinances,

      or take up my covenant in your mouth?

      17. As for you,

      you have hated instruction,

      and cast my words behind you.

      18. If you saw a thief, you kept pace

      with him;

      and cast in your lot with adulterers.

      19. Your mouth has abounded in wickedness,

      and your tongue has fashioned deceit.

      20. You sat down and spoke against your relative,

      even against your mother’s offspring you caused scandal.

      21. You did these things

      and I kept quiet.

      You wickedly supposed that I

      was like yourself.

      But now I will reprove you and set the matter before you.”

      22. Now consider this, you who

      forget God,

      lest you be rent to pieces,

      and there be no deliverer.

      Psalm 50

      1. Have mercy upon me, O God,

      according to your great mercy;

      and according to the multitude of your compassions,

      blot out my transgression.

      2. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,

      and cleanse me from my sin.

      3. For I am conscious of my iniquity,

      and my sin is continually before me.

      4. Against you alone have I sinned,

      and done what is evil in your sight,

      thus you may be justified

      in your decrees,

      and may be vindicated when

      you are judged.

      5. For behold, I was molded

      in iniquities,

      and in sins did my mother conceive me.

      6. For behold, you love truth,

      you have manifested to me

      the secret and hidden things of your wisdom.

      7. Sprinkle me with hyssop and I shall be purified;

      wash me, and I shall become whiter than snow.

      8. Cause me to hear gladness and joy

      and these weary bones shall rejoice.

      9. Turn your face away from my sins,

      and blot out all my iniquities.

      10. Create a clean heart in me, O God,

      and renew a right spirit in my

      inner depths.

      11. Cast me not away from your presence,

      and take not your Holy Spirit from me.

      12. Restore to me the joy of your salvation;

      establish me with your directing Spirit.

      13. Then will I teach transgressors

      your ways,

      and the ungodly shall return to you.

      14. Deliver me from blood-guilt O God, the God of my salvation,

      and my tongue shall joyfully proclaim your righteousness.

      15. O Lord, open my lips,

      and my mouth shall declare your praise.
