Psalm 47

God Our King

For the choir director. A psalm of the sons of Korah.

Clap your hands, all you peoples; w

shout to God with a jubilant cry. x

For * Yahweh, the * Most High, is awe-inspiring,

a great King over all the earth. y

He subdues peoples under us

and nations under our feet. z

He chooses for us our inheritance—

the pride of Jacob, whom He loves. a * Selah

God ascends among shouts of joy,

the Lord, among the sound of trumpets. b

Sing praise to God, sing praise;

sing praise to our King, sing praise! c

Sing a song of wisdom, d

for God is King of all the earth. e

God reigns over the nations;

God is seated on His holy throne. f

The nobles of the peoples have assembled

with the people of the God of Abraham. g

For the leaders h of the earth belong to God;

He is greatly exalted. i

About The Holman Christian Standard Bible

The complete Holman Christian Standard Bible® is now available for the first time ever! More than fifteen years in the making, crafted by the shared expertise of nearly a hundred conservative scholars and English stylists, the Holman CSB® sets the standard in painstaking biblical accuracy and pure literary form.

Accurate, yet highly readable, it's a translation committed to leaving both the grace and gravity of the original languages intact while carefully creating a smooth flow of wording for the reader.

Stylistically, this inaugural edition contributes to the clarity of the written Word, arranging the poetic portions of the Scripture into complete lines of thought, and revering God's presence on each page by capitalizing all the pronouns that refer to Him.
