Psalm 47 and Matthew 4:1-11

Psalm 47

[1]   Clap your hands, all you peoples;  
          shout to God with loud songs of joy.  
[2]   For the LORD, the Most High, is awesome,  
          a great king over all the earth.  
[3]   He subdued peoples under us,  
          and nations under our feet.  
[4]   He chose our heritage for us,  
          the pride of Jacob whom he loves.                    Selah

[5]   God has gone up with a shout,  
          the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.  
[6]   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 a psalm.

[8]   God is king over the nations;  
          God sits on his holy throne.  
[9]   The princes of the peoples gather  
          as the people of the God of Abraham.  
     For the shields of the earth belong to God;  
          he is highly exalted.

Matthew 4:1-11

[1]Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. [2]He fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was famished. [3]The tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread." [4]But he answered, "It is written, 'One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

[5]Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, [6]saying to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, 'He will command his angels concerning you,' and 'On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.'" [7]Jesus said to him, "Again it is written, 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'"


[8]Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor; [9]and he said to him, "All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me." [10]Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! for it is written, 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.'" [11]Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels came and waited on him.
