Psalms 47

1 For the Leader; a Psalm for the sons of Korah. O clap your hands, all ye peoples; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

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 most high, awful; a great King over all the earth.

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

3 He subdueth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.

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

4 He chooseth our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob whom He loveth. (Selah)

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

5 God is gone up amidst shouting, the LORD amidst the sound of the horn.

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

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

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

7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing ye praises in a skilful song.

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

8 God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon His holy throne.

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

9 The princes of the peoples are gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham; for unto God belong the shields of the earth; He is greatly 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!
