Psalm 47. Omnes gentes, plaudite.

1. O CLAP your hands together, all ye peoples: *
   O sing unto God with the voice of melody.
2. For the Lord is high, and to be feared; *
   he is the great King upon all the earth.
3. He shall subdue the peoples under us, *
   and the nations under our feet.
4. He shall choose out an heritage for us, *
   even the excellency of Jacob, whom he loved.
5. God is gone up with a merry noise, *
   and the Lord with the sound of the trump.
6. O sing praises, sing praises unto our God; *
   O sing praises, sing praises unto our King.
7. For God is the King of all the earth: *
   sing ye praises with understanding.
8. God reigneth over the nations; *
   God sitteth upon his holy seat.
9. The princes of the peoples are joined unto the people of the God of Abraham; *
   for God, which is very high exalted, doth defend the earth, as it were with a shield.
