Psalm 47

¹Clap your hands, all you nations;

shout to God with cries of joy.

²For the Lord Most High is awesome,

the great King over all the earth.

³He subdued nations under us,

peoples under our feet.

⁴He chose our inheritance for us,

the pride of Jacob, whom he loved.

⁵God has ascended amid shouts of joy,

the Lord amid the sounding of trumpets.

⁶Sing praises to God, sing praises;

sing praises to our King, sing praises.

⁷For God is the King of all the earth;

sing to him a psalm of praise.

⁸God reigns over the nations;

God is seated on his holy throne.

⁹The nobles of the nations assemble

as the people of the God of Abraham,

for the kings of the earth belong to God;

he is greatly exalted.
