< Psalms 47 >

1 You people all [over the world], clap your hands for joy! Shout joyfully to [praise] God! 2 Yahweh, who is much greater than any other god, is awesome; he is the king who rules over all the world! 3 He enabled us to defeat [the armies of] the people-groups [that lived in Canaan]. 4 He chose for us this land where we now live; we Israeli people [MTY], whom he loves, are proud that we own this land. 5 God has gone up [into his temple]. The people shouted joyfully and blew trumpets as Yahweh went up. 6 Sing songs to praise our God! Sing to praise him [DOU]! Sing to God, our king! 7 God is the one who rules over everything in the world; sing a psalm to him! 8 God sits on his sacred throne as he rules over the people of [all] ethnic groups. 9 The rulers of those people-groups gather as God’s people, the people [descended] from Abraham, [do]. But God has more power than the weapons/shields [of all the kings] on the earth; (he is greatly honored/people honor him) everywhere.
