Psalm 47

God the King of the Earth.

For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

O clap your hands, all peoples;
Shout to God with the voice of joy.
2
For the Lord Most High is to be feared,
A great King over all the earth.
3
He subdues peoples under us
And nations under our feet.
4
He chooses our inheritance for us,
The glory of Jacob whom He loves. Selah.

5
God has ascended 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 a skillful psalm.
8
God reigns over the nations,
God sits on His holy throne.
9
The princes of the people have assembled themselves as the people of the God of Abraham,
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
He is highly exalted.
