Psalms 47

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with the voice of triumph.

To him that excelleth. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. All people clap your hands: sing loude vnto God with a ioyfull voyce.

2 For the LORD Most High is awesome. He is a great King over all the earth.

For the Lord is high, and terrible: a great King ouer all the earth.

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

He hath subdued the people vnder vs, and the nations vnder our feete.

4 He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

Hee hath chosen our inheritance for vs: euen the glory of Iaakob whom he loued. (Selah)

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

God is gone vp with triumph, euen the Lord, with the sound of the trumpet.

6 Sing praise to God, sing praises. Sing praises to our King, sing praises.

Sing prayses to God, sing prayses: sing prayses vnto our King, sing prayses.

7 For God is the King of all the earth. Sing praises with understanding.

For God is the King of all the earth: sing prayses euery one that hath vnderstanding.

8 God reigns over the nations. God sits on his holy throne.

God reigneth ouer the heathen: God sitteth vpon his holy throne.

9 The princes of the peoples are gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God. He is greatly exalted.

The princes of the people are gathered vnto the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the world belong to God: he is greatly to be exalted.
