Psalms 47

1 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;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6 Sing praises unto 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 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, hath become king, over the nations, God, hath taken his seat upon his holy throne.

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

9 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.

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.
