Psalms 47

1 Unto the end. A Psalm for the sons of Korah. All nations, clap your hands. Shout joyfully to God with a voice of exultation.

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

2 For the Lord is exalted and terrible: a great King over all the earth.

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

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

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

4 He has chosen us for his inheritance: the splendor of Jacob, whom he has loved.

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

5 God ascends with jubilation, and the Lord with the voice of the trumpet.

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

6 Sing psalms to our God, sing psalms. Sing psalms to our King, sing psalms.

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

7 For God is the King of all the earth. Sing psalms wisely.

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

8 God will reign over the peoples. God sits upon his holy throne.

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

9 The leaders of the peoples have been gathered together by the God of Abraham. For the strong gods of the earth have been exceedingly exalted.

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