Psalms



Psalm 47

For the music director; by the Korahites; a psalm.

   1 All you nations, clap your hands! Shout out to God in celebration!
   2 For the sovereign LORD is awe-inspiring; he is the great king who rules the whole earth!
   3 He subdued nations beneath us and countries under our feet.
   4 He picked out for us a special land to be a source of pride for Jacob, whom he loves. (Selah)
   5 God has ascended his throne amid loud shouts; the LORD has ascended his throne amid the blaring of ram's horns.
   6 Sing to God! Sing! Sing to our king! Sing!
   7 For God is king of the whole earth! Sing a well-written song!
   8 God reigns over the nations! God sits on his holy throne!
   9 The nobles of the nations assemble, along with the people of the God of Abraham, for God has authority over the rulers of the earth. He is highly exalted!
