Psalms 47

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. O clap your hands, all ye people; shout to God with the voice of triumph.

“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 the LORD most high [is] terrible; [he is] a great King over all the earth.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

7 For God [is] the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.

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

8 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

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

9 The princes of the people are assembled, [even] the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth [belong] to God: he is greatly exalted.

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.
