The Psalms

Psalm 47

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

 47:1Oh clap your hands, all ye peoples;

 Shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

 47:2For Jehovah Most High is terrible;

 He is a great King over all the earth.

 47:3He subdueth peoples under us,

 And nations under our feet.

 47:4He chooseth our inheritance for us,

 The glory of Jacob whom he loved.

Selah

 47:5God is gone up with a shout,

 Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

 47:6Sing praise to God, sing praises:

 Sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

 47:7For God is the King of all the earth:

 Sing ye praises with understanding.

 47:8God reigneth over the nations:

 God sitteth upon his holy throne.

 47:9The princes of the peoples are gathered together

 To be the people of the God of Abraham:

 For the shields of the earth belong unto God;

 He is greatly exalted.
