Psalm 47:1–8

1 Clap your hands, all you peoples;o

shout to God with a jubilant cry.p

2 For the Lord, the Most High, is awe-inspiring,

a great King over the whole earth.q

3 He subdues peoples under us

and nations under our feet.r

4 He chooses for us our inheritance—

the pride of Jacob, whom he loves.s

Selah

5 God ascends among shouts of joy,

the Lord, with the sound of a trumpet.t

6 Sing praise to God, sing praise;

sing praise to our King, sing praise!u

7 Sing a song of wisdom,A

for God is King of the whole earth.v

8 God reigns over the nations;

God is seated on his holy throne.w
