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.

To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,

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

For Jehovah Most High [is] fearful, A great king over all the earth.

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

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

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

He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of Jacob that He loves. (Selah)

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

God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

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

Praise God — praise — give praise to our king, praise.

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

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

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

God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat 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.

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!
