< 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!
2 For terrible is Jehovah, the Most High, The great king over all the earth.
3 He hath subdued nations under us, And kingdoms under our feet;
4 He hath chosen for us an inheritance, The glory of Jacob, whom he loved. (Pause)
5 God goeth up with a shout; Jehovah with the sound of the trumpet.
6 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!
8 God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon 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.
