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, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

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

For the LORD 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.

God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.

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

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

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

For God [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,

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