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,

O clap your hands, all you people; 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 most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.

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

He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.

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

He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

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

God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.

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 the King of all the earth: sing all of you praises with understanding.

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

God reigns over the heathen: God sits upon the throne of his holiness.

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 princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.
