PSALM 47

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.         

      

         Clap your hands, all peoples!

       Shout to God with loud songs

            of  joy!

For the Lord, the Most High, is

        terrible,

    a great king over all the earth.

He subdued peoples under us,

    and nations under our feet.

He chose our heritage for us, 

    the pride of Jacob whom he

         loves.                       Selah

God has gone up with a shout,

    the Lord with the sound of a

         trumpet.

Sing praises to God, sing praises!

    Sing praises to our King, sing

        praises!

For God is the king of all the earth;

    sing praises with a psalm!

God reigns over the nations,

    God sits on His Holy Throne.

The princes of the peoples gather

    as the people of the God of 

         Abraham.

For the shields of the earth belong 

        to God;

    he is highly exalted!
