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 Yahweh 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, Yahweh 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!
