Psalm 47

1 Oh clap your hands, all ye peoples; Shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

2 For Jehovah Most High is terrible; He is a great King over all the earth.

3 He subdueth peoples under us, And nations under our feet.

4 He chooseth our inheritance for us, The glory of Jacob whom he loved. Selah

5 God is gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

6 Sing praise to God, sing praises: Sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

7 For God is the King of all the earth: Sing ye praises with understanding.

8 God reigneth over the nations: God sitteth upon his holy throne.

9 The princes of the peoples are gathered together To be the people of the God of Abraham: For the shields of the earth belong unto God; He is greatly exalted.

Psalm 47

For the music director; by the Korahites; a psalm.

1 All you nations, clap your hands!
Shout out to God in celebration!

2 For the sovereign Lord is awe-inspiring;
he is the great king who rules the whole earth!

3 He subdued nations beneath us
and countries under our feet.

4 He picked out for us a special land
to be a source of pride for Jacob, whom he loves. (Selah)

5 God has ascended his throne amid loud shouts;
the Lord has ascended his throne amid the blaring of ram’s horns.

6 Sing to God! Sing!
Sing to our king! Sing!

7 For God is king of the whole earth!
Sing a well-written song!

8 God reigns over the nations!
God sits on his holy throne!

9 The nobles of the nations assemble,
along with the people of the God of Abraham,
for God has authority over the rulers of the earth.
He is highly exalted!
