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,

For the music director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. Everyone, clap your hands! Shout with joy to the Lord!

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

For the Lord Most High is awe-inspiring; he is the great King of all the earth.

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

He subdues other peoples under us; he puts nations under our feet.

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

He chose the land for us to own; the proud possession of Jacob's descendants whom he loves. (Selah)

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

God ascends his throne with a great shout, the Lord is accompanied by the sound of the trumpet.

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

Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises!

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

For God is King of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm!

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

God rules over the nations; he sits on 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 rulers of the nations gather together with the people of the God of Abraham, for the defenders of the earth belong to God. He is highly honored everywhere.
