Psalms 47

1 To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,

To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. O make a glad noise with your hands, all you peoples; letting your voices go up to God with joy.

2 For Jehovah Most High [is] fearful, A great king over all the earth.

For the Lord Most High is to be feared; he is a great King over all the earth.

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

He will put down the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.

4 He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of Jacob that He loves. (Selah)

He will give us our heritage, the glory of Jacob who is dear to him. (Selah)

5 God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

God has gone up with a glad cry, the Lord with the sound of the horn.

6 Praise God — praise — give praise to our king, praise.

Give praises to God, make songs of praise; give praises to our King, make songs of praise.

7 For king of all the earth [is] God, Give praise, O understanding one.

For God is the King of all the earth; make songs of praise with knowledge.

8 God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat on His holy throne,

God is the ruler over the nations; God is on the high seat of his holy rule.

9 Nobles of peoples have been gathered, [With] the people of the God of Abraham, For to God [are] the shields of earth, Greatly hath He been exalted!

The rulers of the peoples have come together, with the people of the God of Abraham; because the powers of the earth are God's: he is lifted up on high.
