Psalm 47

God, the King of the Earth.

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

1 Clap your hands, all you peoples;

Shout to God with a 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 pride of Jacob whom He loves. Selah

5 God has ascended *47:5 Or amidwith a shout,

The Lord, *47:5 Or amidwith the sound of a trumpet.

Sing praises to our King, sing praises.

Sing praises with a psalm of wisdom.

8 God reigns over the nations,

God *47:8 Or has taken His seatsits on His holy throne.

9 The *47:9 Or noblesprinces of the people have assembled as the people of the God of Abraham,

For the shields of the earth belong to God;

He is highly exalted.
