Psalms 47

1 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.

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. All you peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,

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

For YHWH Most High [is] fearful, A great King over all the earth.

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

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

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

He chooses for us our inheritance, The excellence of Jacob that He loves. (Selah)

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

God has gone up with a shout, YHWH with the sound of a horn.

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

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

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

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

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

God has reigned over nations, God has sat on His holy throne,

9 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.

Nobles of peoples have been gathered, [With] the people of the God of Abraham, For the shields of earth [are] to God, Greatly has He been exalted!
