Psalm 47

 

For the director of music.  Of the Sons of Korah.  A psalm.

 

 

1                    Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy.

 

2                    How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!

 

3                    He subdued nations under us, peoples under our feet.

 

4                    He chose our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom He loved.

Selah

 

5                    God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the LORD amid the sounding of trumpets.

 

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 to Him a psalm [a] of praise.

 

8                    God reigns over the nations; God is seated on His holy throne.

 

9                    The nobles of the nations assemble as the people of the God of Abraham, for the kings [b] of the earth belong to God; He is greatly exalted.
