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 Korahites. A psalm. Clap your hands, all you peoples: shout to God in ringing cries.

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

For the Lord is most high and dread, a great king over all the earth.

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

He subdues the peoples under us, the nations under our feet;

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

he chooses our heritage for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loves. (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 praise to our God, sing praises: sing praise to our king, sing praises.

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

For king of all earth is he: praise God in a skilful song.

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

God is king over all the nations, God 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!

Princes of nations gather with the people of Abraham’s God: for the shields of the earth are God’s; greatly exalted is he.
