Psalms 47

1 For the music director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. Everyone, clap your hands! Shout with joy to the Lord!

To the Chief Musician. For the Sons of Korah. A Melody. All ye peoples, clap your hands, Shout unto God, with the voice of triumph;

2 For the Lord Most High is awe-inspiring; he is the great King of all the earth.

For, Yahweh—as Most High, is to be revered, A great king, over all the earth,

3 He subdues other peoples under us; he puts nations under our feet.

He will subjugate, Peoples under us, and, Tribes of men beneath our feet.

4 He chose the land for us to own; the proud possession of Jacob's descendants whom he loves. (Selah)

He chooseth for us our inheritance, The excellence of Jacob, which he hath loved. (Selah)

5 God ascends his throne with a great shout, the Lord is accompanied by the sound of the trumpet.

God hath ascended with a shout, Yahweh, with the sound of a horn.

6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises!

Sing praises unto God, sing praises, Sing praises to our King, sing praises;

7 For God is King of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm!

For God is king of all the earth, Sing praises with understanding.

8 God rules over the nations; he sits on his holy throne.

God, hath become king, over the nations, God, hath taken his seat upon his holy throne.

9 The rulers of the nations gather together with the people of the God of Abraham, for the defenders of the earth belong to God. He is highly honored everywhere.

The willing-hearted of the peoples, have gathered themselves together, The people of the God of Abraham; For, to God, belong the shields of the earth, Greatly is he exalted.
