< Psalms 47 >
1 O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto Elohim with the voice of triumph.
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 YHWH most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.
For, Yahweh—as Most High, is to be revered, A great king, over all the earth,
3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.
He will subjugate, Peoples under us, and, Tribes of men beneath our feet.
4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)
He chooseth for us our inheritance, The excellence of Jacob, which he hath loved. (Selah)
5 Elohim is gone up with a shout, YHWH with the sound of a trumpet.
God hath ascended with a shout, Yahweh, with the sound of a horn.
6 Sing praises to Elohim, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
Sing praises unto God, sing praises, Sing praises to our King, sing praises;
7 For Elohim is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.
For God is king of all the earth, Sing praises with understanding.
8 Elohim reigneth over the heathen: Elohim sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.
God, hath become king, over the nations, God, hath taken his seat upon his holy throne.
9 The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the Elohim of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto Elohim: he is greatly exalted.
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.
