Psalms 47

God Is King over All the Earth

For the music director. Of the sons of Korah. A psalm. ^{▼▼The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm; the English verse number is reduced by one}

1 All you peoples, clap your hands. ^{▼▼Hebrew “hand”}
Shout to God with a voice of rejoicing.
2 For Yahweh Most High is awesome, ^{▼▼Or “to be feared”}
a great king over all the earth.
3 He subdues peoples under us
and nations under our feet.
4 He chooses for us our inheritance,
the pride of Jacob whom he loves.
5 God has gone up with a shout,
Yahweh with the sound of a trumpet.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises.
Sing praises to our king, sing praises.
7 For God is king of all the earth.
Sing praises with understanding. ^{▼▼Or “sing a maskil”}
8 God reigns over nations;
God sits on his holy throne.
9 The princes of the peoples are gathered together
with the people of Abraham’s God.
For the shields of the earth belong to God.
He is very exalted.
