Psalms 47

1 Unto the end, for the sons of Core. O clap your hands, all ye nations: shout unto God with the voice of Joy,

To him that excelleth. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. All people clap your hands: sing loude vnto God with a ioyfull voyce.

2 For the Lord is high, terrible: a great king over all the earth.

For the Lord is high, and terrible: a great King ouer all the earth.

3 He hath subdued the people under us; and the nations under our feet.

He hath subdued the people vnder vs, and the nations vnder our feete.

4 He hath chosen for us his inheritance the beauty of Jacob which he hath loved.

Hee hath chosen our inheritance for vs: euen the glory of Iaakob whom he loued. (Selah)

5 God is ascended with jubilee, and the Lord with the sound of trumpet.

God is gone vp with triumph, euen the Lord, with the sound of the trumpet.

6 Sing praises to our God, sing ye: sing praises to our king, sing ye.

Sing prayses to God, sing prayses: sing prayses vnto our King, sing prayses.

7 For God is the king of all the earth: sing ye wisely.

For God is the King of all the earth: sing prayses euery one that hath vnderstanding.

8 God shall reign over the nations: God sitteth on his holy throne.

God reigneth ouer the heathen: God sitteth vpon his holy throne.

9 The princes of the people are gathered together, with the God of Abraham: for the strong gods of the earth are exceedingly exalted.

The princes of the people are gathered vnto the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the world belong to God: he is greatly to be exalted.
