Psalm 47

¹Clap your hands, all you people!

Shout joyfully to God with a joyous shout!

²Because the LORD Most High is awesome,

he is the great king of the whole world.

³He subdues the nations under us,

subdues all people beneath our feet.

⁴He chooses our inheritance for us:

the heights of Jacob, which he loves. Selah

⁵God has gone up with a joyous shout—

the LORD with the blast of the ram’s horn.

⁶Sing praises to God! Sing praises!

Sing praises to our king! Sing praises

⁷because God is king of the whole world!

Sing praises with a song of instruction!

⁸God is king over the nations.

God sits on his holy throne.

⁹The leaders of all people are gathered

with the people of Abraham’s God

because the earth’s guardians belong to God;
