Psalms 47

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

¹Oh clap your hands, all you nations.
Shout to God with the voice of triumph!
²For Yahweh Most High is awesome.
He is a great King over all the earth.
³He subdues nations under us,
and peoples under our feet.
⁴He chooses our inheritance for us,
the glory of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
⁵God has gone up with a shout, Yahweh
with the sound of a trumpet.
⁶Sing praise to God, sing praises.
Sing praises to our King, sing praises.
⁷For God is the King of all the earth.
Sing praises with understanding.
⁸God reigns over the nations.
God sits on his holy throne.
⁹The 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! A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.
