Psalm 47

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

1 Clap your hands, all you peoples;

shout unto God with a voice of triumph.

2 How awesome is the LORD Most High,

the great King over all the earth!

3 He subdues nations beneath us,

and peoples under our feet.

4 He chooses our inheritance for us,

the pride of Jacob, whom He loves.

Selah

5 God has ascended amid shouts of joy,

the LORD with the sound of the horn.

6 Sing praises to God, sing praises;

sing praises to our King, sing praises!

7 For God is King of all the earth;

sing to Him a psalm of praise.

8 God reigns over the nations;

God is seated on His holy throne.

9 The nobles of the nations have assembled

as the people of the God of Abraham;

for the shields of the earth belong to God;

He is highly exalted.
