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. For the Sons of Korah. A Melody. All ye peoples, clap your hands, Shout unto God, with the voice of triumph;

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

For, Yahweh—as Most High, is to be revered, A great king, over all the earth,

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

He will subjugate, Peoples under us, and, Tribes of men beneath our feet.

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

He chooseth for us our inheritance, The excellence of Jacob, which he hath loved. (Selah)

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

God hath ascended with a shout, Yahweh, with the sound of a horn.

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

Sing praises unto 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 understanding.

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

God, hath become king, over the nations, God, hath taken his seat 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 willing-hearted of the peoples, have gathered themselves together, The people of the God of Abraham; For, to God, belong the shields of the earth, Greatly is he exalted.
