Psalms 47

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

Unto the end. A Psalm for the sons of Korah. All nations, clap your hands. Shout joyfully to God with a voice of exultation.

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

For the Lord is exalted and terrible: a great King over all the earth.

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

He has subjected the peoples to us and subdued the nations under our feet.

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

He has chosen us for his inheritance: the splendor of Jacob, whom he has loved.

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

God ascends with jubilation, and the Lord with the voice of the trumpet.

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

Sing psalms to our God, sing psalms. Sing psalms to our King, sing psalms.

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

For God is the King of all the earth. Sing psalms wisely.

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

God will reign over the peoples. God sits upon his holy throne.

9 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!

The leaders of the peoples have been gathered together by the God of Abraham. For the strong gods of the earth have been exceedingly exalted.
