Psalm 47. Omnes gentes, plaudite.

1. Clap your hands, all you peoples; *
   shout to God with a cry of joy.
2. For the Lord Most High is to be feared; *
   he is the great King over all the earth.
3. He subdues the peoples under us, *
   and the nations under our feet.
4. He chooses our inheritance for us, *
   the pride of Jacob whom he loves.
5. God has gone up with a shout, *
   the Lord with the sound of the ram's-horn.
6. Sing praises to God, sing praises; *
   sing praises to our King, sing praises.
7. For God is King of all the earth; *
   sing praises with all your skill.
8. God reigns over the nations; *
   God sits upon his holy throne.
9. The nobles of the peoples have gathered together *
   with the people of the God of Abraham.
10. The rulers of the earth belong to God, *
    and he is highly exalted.
