Psalms 47

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout unto God with a voice of triumph.

O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto Elohim with the voice of triumph.

2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!

For YHWH most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.

3 He subdues nations beneath us, and peoples under our feet.

He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.

4 He chooses our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom He loves.

He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

5 God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the LORD with the sound of the horn.

Elohim is gone up with a shout, YHWH with the sound of a trumpet.

6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises!

Sing praises to Elohim, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

7 For God is King of all the earth; sing profound praises to Him.

For Elohim is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.

8 God reigns over the nations; God is seated on His holy throne.

Elohim reigneth over the heathen: Elohim sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

9 The nobles of the nations have assembled as the people of the God of Abraham; for the shields of the earth belong to God; He is highly exalted.

The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the Elohim of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto Elohim: he is greatly exalted.
