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 musician, a psalm for the sons of Korach.” All ye people, clap your hands; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

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

For the Lord is most high, fear-inspiring; he is a great king over all the earth.

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

He will subdue people under us, and nations under our feet.

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

He will choose for us our inheritance, the excellency of Jacob which he loveth. (Selah)

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

God ascendeth amid a triumphal shout, the Lord, amid the sound of the cornet.

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

Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

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

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

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

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

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 nobles of the people are gathered together, [to be with] the people of the God of Abraham; for unto God belong the shields of the earth: he is greatly exalted.
