Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
Geneva Bible 1599
Psalms 47
1To him that excelleth. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. All people clap your hands: sing loude vnto God with a ioyfull voyce. 2For the Lord is high, and terrible: a great King ouer all the earth. 3He hath subdued the people vnder vs, and the nations vnder our feete. 4Hee hath chosen our inheritance for vs: euen the glory of Iaakob whom he loued. Selah. 5God is gone vp with triumph, euen the Lord, with the sound of the trumpet. 6Sing prayses to God, sing prayses: sing prayses vnto our King, sing prayses. 7For God is the King of all the earth: sing prayses euery one that hath vnderstanding. 8God reigneth ouer the heathen: God sitteth vpon his holy throne. 9The princes of the people are gathered vnto the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the world belong to God: he is greatly to be exalted.
