< 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.
2 For the Lord is most high, fear-inspiring; he is a great king over all the earth.
3 He will subdue people under us, and nations under our feet.
4 He will choose for us our inheritance, the excellency of Jacob which he loveth. (Selah)
5 God ascendeth amid a triumphal shout, the Lord, amid the sound of the cornet.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
7 For God is King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.
8 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.
