Psalm 47

For the choir director; a psalm by Korah’s descendants. 

Clap your hands, all you people. 

Shout to God with a loud, joyful song. 

We must fear the Lord, the Most High. 

He is the great king of the whole earth. 

He brings people under our authority 

and ⸤puts⸥ nations under our feet. 

He chooses our inheritance for us, 

the pride of Jacob, whom he loved. 

Selah 

God has gone up with a joyful shout. 

The Lord has gone up with the sound of a ram’s horn. 

Make music to praise God. 

Play music for him! 

Make music to praise our king. 

Play music for him! 

God is the king of the whole earth. 

Make your best music for him! 

God rules the nations. 

He sits upon his holy throne. 

The influential people from the nations gather together 

as the people of the God of Abraham. 

The rulers of the earth belong to God. 

He rules everything.
