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.

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to 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 awesome. 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 subdues nations under us, and peoples under our feet.

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

He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

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

God has 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 praise to God, sing praises. Sing praises to 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 praises with understanding.

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

God reigns over the nations. God sits on his holy throne.

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 peoples are gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God. He is greatly exalted.
