Psalms 47

1 For the Leader; a Psalm for the sons of Korah. O clap your hands, all ye peoples; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

“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 most high, awful; a great King over all the earth.

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

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

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

4 He chooseth our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob whom He loveth. (Selah)

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

5 God is gone up amidst shouting, the LORD amidst the sound of the horn.

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

6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

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

7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing ye praises in a skilful song.

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

8 God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon His holy throne.

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

9 The princes of the peoples are gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham; for unto God belong the shields of the earth; He is greatly 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.
