< 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.
To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,
2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!
For Jehovah Most High [is] fearful, A great king over all the earth.
3 He subdues nations beneath us, and peoples under our feet.
He leadeth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.
4 He chooses our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom He loves.
He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of Jacob that He loves. (Selah)
5 God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the LORD with the sound of the horn.
God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises!
Praise God — praise — give praise to our king, praise.
7 For God is King of all the earth; sing profound praises to Him.
For king of all the earth [is] God, Give praise, O understanding one.
8 God reigns over the nations; God is seated on His holy throne.
God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat on His holy throne,
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.
Nobles of peoples have been gathered, [With] the people of the God of Abraham, For to God [are] the shields of earth, Greatly hath He been exalted!
