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;

O clap your hands, all you people; shout to God with the voice of triumph.

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

For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.

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

He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.

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

He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

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

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

6 Sing praises unto 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 praises with understanding.

For God is the King of all the earth: sing you praises with understanding.

8 God, hath become king, over the nations, God, hath taken his seat upon his holy throne.

God reigns over the heathen: God sits on the throne of his holiness.

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 together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong to God: he is greatly exalted.
