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 leader of the music. A psalm of the sons of Korah.” O clap your hands, all ye nations! Shout unto God with the voice of triumph!

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

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

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

He hath subdued nations under us, And kingdoms under our feet;

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

He hath chosen for us an inheritance, The glory of Jacob, whom he loved. (Pause)

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

God goeth up with a shout; Jehovah with 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 to him hymns of praise!

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

God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth 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 princes of the nations gather themselves together To the people of the God of Abraham; For the mighty of the earth belong to God; He is supremely exalted.
