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,

To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap your hands; shout unto God with the voice of triumph!

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

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

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

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

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

He hath chosen our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

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

God is gone up amid shouting, Jehovah amid the sound of the trumpet.

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

Sing psalms of God, sing psalms; sing psalms unto 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 with understanding.

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

God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

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 willing-hearted of the peoples have gathered together, [with] the people of the God of Abraham. For unto God [belong] the shields of the earth: he is greatly exalted.
