Psalms 47

1 For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core. Clap your hands, all ye nations; shout to God with a voice of exultation.

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. All you peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,

2 For the Lord most high is terrible; [he is] a great king over all the earth.

For YHWH Most High [is] fearful, A great King over all the earth.

3 He has subdued the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.

He leads peoples under us, and nations under our feet.

4 He has chosen out his inheritance for us, the beauty of Jacob which he loved. (Pause)

He chooses for us our inheritance, The excellence of Jacob that He loves. (Selah)

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

God has gone up with a shout, YHWH with the sound of a horn.

6 Sing praises to our 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 praises with understanding.

For God [is] King of all the earth, Give praise, O understanding one.

8 God reigns over the nations: God sits upon the throne of his holiness.

God has reigned over nations, God has sat on His holy throne,

9 The rulers of the people are assembled with the God of Abraam: for God's mighty ones of the earth have been greatly exalted.

Nobles of peoples have been gathered, [With] the people of the God of Abraham, For the shields of earth [are] to God, Greatly has He been exalted!
