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;

You people all [over the world], clap your hands for joy! Shout joyfully to [praise] God!

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

Yahweh, who is much greater than any other god, is awesome; he is the king who rules over all the world!

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

He enabled us to defeat [the armies of] the people-groups [that lived in Canaan].

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

He chose for us this land where we now live; we Israeli people [MTY], whom he loves, are proud that we own this land.

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

God has gone up [into his temple]. The people shouted joyfully and blew trumpets as Yahweh went up.

6 Sing praises unto God, sing praises, Sing praises to our King, sing praises;

Sing songs to praise our God! Sing to praise him [DOU]! Sing to God, our king!

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

God is the one who rules over everything in the world; sing a psalm to him!

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

God sits on his sacred throne as he rules over the people of [all] ethnic groups.

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 rulers of those people-groups gather as God’s people, the people [descended] from Abraham, [do]. But God has more power than the weapons/shields [of all the kings] on the earth; (he is greatly honored/people honor him) everywhere.
