Psalm 47

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.

47 Oh clap your hands, all you nations.

    Shout to God with the voice of triumph!

2 For Yahweh 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,

    Yahweh with the sound of a trumpet.

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!
