Psalms 47

1To the Overseer. --By sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing, 2For Jehovah Most High is fearful, A great king over all the earth. 3He leadeth peoples under us, and nations under our feet. 4He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of Jacob that He loves. Selah. 5God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet. 6Praise God--praise--give praise to our king, praise. 7For king of all the earth is God, Give praise, O understanding one. 8God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat on His holy throne, 9Nobles of peoples have been gathered, With the people of the God of Abraham, For to God are the shields of earth, Greatly hath He been exalted!
