Psalms 47

1 “To the chief musician, a psalm for the sons of Korach.” All ye people, clap your hands; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of the sons of Korah.” O clap your hands, all ye nations! Shout unto God with the voice of triumph!

2 For the Lord is most high, fear-inspiring; he is a great king over all the earth.

For terrible is Jehovah, the Most High, The great king over all the earth.

3 He will subdue people under us, and nations under our feet.

He hath subdued nations under us, And kingdoms under our feet;

4 He will choose for us our inheritance, the excellency of Jacob which he loveth. (Selah)

He hath chosen for us an inheritance, The glory of Jacob, whom he loved. (Pause)

5 God ascendeth amid a triumphal shout, the Lord, amid the sound of the cornet.

God goeth up with a shout; Jehovah with the sound of the trumpet.

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

Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our king, sing praises!

7 For God is King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.

For God is king of all the earth; Sing to him hymns of praise!

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

God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon his holy throne.

9 The nobles of the people are gathered together, [to be with] the people of the God of Abraham; for unto God belong the shields of the earth: he is greatly exalted.

The princes of the nations gather themselves together To the people of the God of Abraham; For the mighty of the earth belong to God; He is supremely exalted.
