Psalm 47
For the director of music. A psalm of the Sons of Korah.
1Clap your hands, all you nations.
Shout to God with cries of joy.
2Do this because the Lord Most High is wonderful.
He is the great King over the whole earth.
3He brought nations under our control.
He made them fall under us.
4He chose our land for us.
The people of Jacob are proud of their land,
and God loves them.
5God went up to his throne while his people were shouting with joy.
The Lord went up while trumpets were playing.
6Sing praises to God. Sing praises.
Sing praises to our King. Sing praises.
7God is the King of the whole earth.
Sing a psalm of praise to him.
8God rules over the nations.
He is seated on his holy throne.
9The nobles of the nations come together.
They are now part of the people of the God of Abraham.
The kings of the earth belong to God.
He is greatly honored.

1All of you nations,
clap your hands and shout
joyful praises to God.

the ruler of all the earth.
3God has put every nation
under our power,
4and he chose for us the land
that was the pride of Jacob,
his favorite.
5God goes up to his throne,
as people shout
and trumpets blast.
6Sing praises to God our King,
7the ruler of all the earth!
Praise God with songs.
8God rules the nations
from his sacred throne.
9Their leaders come together
and are now the people
of Abraham's God.
All rulers on earth
surrender their weapons,
and God is greatly praised!
