Psalm 47[a]
For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.
1 Clap your hands,(a) all you nations;
shout to God with cries of joy.(b)
2 For the Lord Most High(c) is awesome,(d)
the great King(e) over all the earth.
3 He subdued(f) nations under us,
peoples under our feet.
4 He chose our inheritance(g) for us,
the pride of Jacob,(h) whom he loved.[b]
5 God has ascended(i) amid shouts of joy,(j)
the Lord amid the sounding of trumpets.(k)
6 Sing praises(l) to God, sing praises;
sing praises to our King, sing praises.
7 For God is the King of all the earth;(m)
sing to him a psalm(n) of praise.
8 God reigns(o) over the nations;
God is seated on his holy throne.(p)
9 The nobles of the nations assemble
as the people of the God of Abraham,
for the kings[c] of the earth belong to God;(q)
he is greatly exalted.(r)
