Chapter 46
This
psalm tells of the Gog and Magog era (the Messianic age), when man will cast
aside his weapons, and warfare will be no more.
1. For the Conductor, by
the sons of Korach, on the alamot,1 a song. 2. G-d is our refuge and strength, a help in
distress, He is most accessible. 3. Therefore, we will not be afraid when the
earth is transformed, when mountains collapse in the heart of the seas; 4. when
its waters roar and are muddied, and mountains quake before His grandeur,
Selah. 5. The river2-its streams will bring joy to the city of G-d, the
sacred dwelling of the Most High. 6. G-d is in her midst, she will not falter; G-d
will help her at the approach of morning. 7. Nations clamor, kingdoms stumble;
He raises His voice and the earth dissolves. 8. The Lord of Hosts is with us;
the G-d of Jacob is our stronghold forever. 9. Go and see the works of the
Lord, Who has wrought devastation in the land. 10. To the end of the earth He
causes wars to cease; He breaks the bow, snaps the spear, and burns the wagons
in fire. 11. Stop [waging war]! And know that I am G-d; I will be exalted among
the nations, exalted upon the earth. 12. The Lord of Hosts is with us; the G-d
of Jacob is our stronghold forever.
Chapter 47
Following
the battle of Gog and Magog (in the Messianic era), war will be no more. G-d
will grant us salvation, and we will merit to go up to the Holy Temple for the
festivals, Amen.
1. For the Conductor, a
psalm by the sons of Korach. 2. All you nations, clap hands; sound [the shofar]
to G-d with a sound of jubilation. 3. For the Lord is most high, awesome; a
great King over all the earth. 4. He subdues peoples under us, nations beneath
our feet. 5. He chooses our heritage for us, the glory of Jacob whom He loves
eternally. 6. G-d ascends through teruah, the Lord-through the sound of the
shofar. 7. Sing, O sing to G-d; sing, O sing to our King. 8. For G-d is King
over all the earth; sing, O man of understanding. 9. G-d reigns over the
nations; G-d is seated on His holy throne. 10. The most noble of the nations
are gathered, the nation of the G-d of Abraham; for the protectors of the earth
belong to G-d; He is greatly exalted.
Chapter 48
The
psalmist prophesies about the Messianic era, singing the praises of a rebuilt
Jerusalem and the sacrifices brought there. At that time Israel will say,
"As we heard from the mouths of the prophets, so have we merited to
see!"
1. A song, a psalm by the
sons of Korach. 2. The Lord is great and exceedingly acclaimed in the city of G-d,
His holy mountain. 3. Beautiful in landscape, the joy of the whole earth is
Mount Zion, on the northern slopes, the city of the great King. 4. In her
citadels, G-d became known as a tower of strength. 5. For behold, the kings
assembled, they advanced in concert [to invade her]. 6. They saw [the wonders
of the Almighty] and were astounded; they were terror-stricken, they hastened
to flee. 7. Trembling seized them there, pangs as of a woman in the throes of
labor; 8. [they were crushed as] by an east wind that shatters the ships of
Tarshish. 9. As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of the Lord of
Hosts, in the city of our G-d; may G-d establish it for all eternity. 10. G-d,
we have been hoping for Your kindness [to be revealed] within Your Sanctuary.
11. As Your Name, O G-d, [is great,] so is Your praise to the ends of the
earth; Your right hand is filled with righteousness. 12. Let Mount Zion
rejoice, let the towns of Judah exult, because of Your judgments. 13. Walk
around Zion, encircle her, count her towers. 14. Consider well her ramparts,
behold her lofty citadels, that you may recount it to a later generation. 15.
For this G-d is our G-d forever and ever; He will lead us eternally.

Chapter 59
3. Rescue me from evildoers, save me from men of bloodshed. 4. For
behold they lie in ambush for my soul, mighty ones gather against me-not
because of my sin nor my transgression, O Lord. 5. Without iniquity [on my
part,] they run and prepare-awaken towards me and see!
PSALM 89
17. They rejoice in Your Name all day, and they are exalted through Your
righteousness.
