Psalm 47

God Is King over All the Earth

1 Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples!
Shout to God with the voice of triumph! 2 For the LORD Most High is awesome;
He is a great a King over all the earth. 3 b He will subdue the peoples under us,
And the nations under our feet. 4 He will choose our c inheritance for us,
The excellence of Jacob whom He loves. Selah

5 d God has gone up with a shout,
The LORD with the sound of a trumpet. 6 Sing praises to God, sing praises!
Sing praises to our King, sing praises! 7 e For God is the King of all the earth;
f Sing praises with understanding.

8 g God reigns over the nations;
God h sits on His i holy throne. 9 The princes of the people have gathered together,
j The people of the God of Abraham.
k For the shields of the earth belong to God;
He is greatly exalted.
