Psalms 47

Praise to God, the Ruler of the Earth

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.¹Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph! ²For the Lord Most High is awesome; He is a great King over all the earth. ³He will subdue the peoples under us, And the nations under our feet. ⁴He will choose our inheritance for us, The excellence of Jacob whom He loves. Selah ⁵God has gone up with a shout, The Lord with the sound of a trumpet. ⁶Sing praises 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 people have gathered together, The people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God; He is greatly exalted.
