Psalms 47

1 Unto the end. A Psalm for the sons of Korah. All nations, clap your hands. Shout joyfully to God with a voice of exultation.

“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 is exalted and terrible: a great King over all the earth.

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

3 He has subjected the peoples to us and subdued the nations under our feet.

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

4 He has chosen us for his inheritance: the splendor of Jacob, whom he has loved.

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

5 God ascends with jubilation, and the Lord with the voice of the trumpet.

God goeth up with a shout; Jehovah with the sound of the trumpet.

6 Sing psalms to our God, sing psalms. Sing psalms to our King, sing psalms.

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

7 For God is the King of all the earth. Sing psalms wisely.

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

8 God will reign over the peoples. God sits upon his holy throne.

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

9 The leaders of the peoples have been gathered together by the God of Abraham. For the strong gods of the earth have been exceedingly 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.
