< 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.
2 For the Lord is exalted and terrible: a great King over all the earth.
3 He has subjected the peoples to us and subdued the nations under our feet.
4 He has chosen us for his inheritance: the splendor of Jacob, whom he has loved.
5 God ascends with jubilation, and the Lord with the voice of the trumpet.
6 Sing psalms to our God, sing psalms. Sing psalms to our King, sing psalms.
7 For God is the King of all the earth. Sing psalms wisely.
8 God will reign over the peoples. God sits upon 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.
