Psalms 47
47
(A psalm by the clan of Korah and for the music leader.)
God Rules the Nations
1All of you nations,
clap your hands and shout
joyful praises to God.
2The Lord Most High is fearsome,
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!

1For the leader. A psalm of the descendants of Korach:
2Clap your hands, all you peoples!
Shout to God with cries of joy!
3For Adonai ‘Elyon is awesome,
a great king over all the earth.
4He makes peoples subject to us,
puts nations under our feet.
5He chooses our heritage for us,
the pride of Ya‘akov, whom he loves. (Selah)
6God goes up to shouts of acclaim,
Adonai to a blast on the shofar.
7Sing praises to God, sing praises!
Sing praises to our king, sing praises!
8For God is king of all the earth;
sing praises in a maskil.
9God rules the nations;
God sits on his holy throne.
10The leaders of the people gather together,
the people of the God of Avraham;
for the rulers of the earth belong to God,
who is exalted on high.
