Psalms 47

Clap Your Hands, All You Peoples

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

1How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!

2He subdues nations beneath us, and peoples under our feet.

3He chooses our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom He loves. Selah

4God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the LORD with the sound of the horn.

5Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises!

6For God is King of all the earth; sing to Him a psalm of praise.

7God reigns over the nations; God is seated on His holy throne.

8The 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.
