Psalm 47

To the Chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. Upon Alamoth. A Song

1O all ye peoples! clap the hand; Shout unto God with the voice of exultation;

2For Jehovah is high, terrible, A great king over all the earth.

3He hath put in order the people under us, And the nations under our feet.

4He hath chosen for us our inheritance, The glory of Jacob, whom he hath loved. Selah.

5Gone up is God with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

6Sing psalms to God, sing psalms; Sing psalms to our King, sing psalms;

7For king of all the earth is God; Sing praises, all ye who understand!

8The kingdom he hath obtained over the heathen; God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

9The princes of the peoples are assembled together To the people of the God of Abraham: For to God belong the shields of the earth: He is greatly exalted.
