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!

Psalm 47
47
God Is the King of All the Earth
To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
1O clap your hands, all ye people;
shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
2For the Lord most high is terrible;
he is a great King over all the earth.
3He shall subdue the people under us,
and the nations under our feet.
4He shall choose our inheritance for us,
the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
5God is gone up with a shout,
the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
6Sing praises to God, sing praises:
sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
7For God is the King of all the earth:
sing ye praises with understanding.
8God reigneth over the heathen:
God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.
9The princes of the people are gathered together,
even the people of the God of Abraham:
for the shields of the earth belong unto God:
he is greatly exalted.
