Psalm 47
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.
1 Oh clap
your hands, all you nations.
Shout to God with
the voice of triumph!
2 For
the LORD 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,
the LORD 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!
