Psalms 47

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with the voice of triumph!

2 For the LORD Most High is awesome. He is a great King over all the earth.

3 He subdues nations under us, and peoples under our feet.

4 He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

5 God has gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a shofar.

6 Sing praises to God! Sing praises! Sing praises to our King! Sing praises!

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

8 God reigns over the nations. God sits on his holy throne.

9 The princes of the peoples are gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God. He is greatly exalted!
