Psalm 47
God Is King over All the Earth
Clap your hands, all peoples;
shout to God with a voice of joy.
For the LORD Most High is fearsome,
a great king over all the earth.
He subdued peoples under us,
and nations under our feet.
He chose our inheritance for us,
the pride of Jacob whom he loves.
God has gone up with a shout,
the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
Sing praises to God, sing praises;
sing praises to our king, sing praises.
For God is king of all the earth;
sing praises with understanding.
God reigns over the nations;
God sits on his holy throne.
The princes of the peoples gather
as the people of the God of Abraham.
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
he is highly exalted.
