Psalm 47

For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.

*Clap your hands,a all you nations;

shout to God with cries of joy.b

For the Lord Most Highc is awesome,d

the great Kinge over all the earth.

He subduedf nations under us,

peoples under our feet.

He chose our inheritanceg for us,

the pride of Jacob,h whom he loved.

God has ascendedi amid shouts of joy,j

the Lord amid the sounding of trumpets.k

Sing praisesl to God, sing praises;

sing praises to our King, sing praises.

For God is the King of all the earth;m

sing to him a psalmn of praise.

God reignso over the nations;

God is seated on his holy throne.p

The nobles of the nations assemble

as the people of the God of Abraham,

for the kings of the earth belong to God;q

he is greatly exalted.r
