Psalms 47

1 “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!

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout unto God with a voice of triumph.

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

How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!

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

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

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

He chooses our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom He loves.

5 God goeth up with a shout; Jehovah with the sound of the trumpet.

God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the LORD with the sound of the horn.

6 Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our king, sing praises!

Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises!

7 For God is king of all the earth; Sing to him hymns of praise!

For God is King of all the earth; sing profound praises to Him.

8 God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon his holy throne.

God reigns over the nations; God is seated on His holy throne.

9 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.

The nobles of the nations have assembled as the people of the God of Abraham; for the shields of the earth belong to God; He is highly exalted.
