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,

O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto Elohim with the voice of triumph.

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

For YHWH most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.

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

He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.

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

He shall choose 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.

Elohim is gone up with a shout, YHWH with the sound of a trumpet.

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

Sing praises to Elohim, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

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

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

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

Elohim reigneth over the heathen: Elohim 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 princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the Elohim of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto Elohim: he is greatly exalted.
