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!

Psalms 47
47
To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm.
1All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,
2For Jehovah Most High [is] fearful, A great king over all the earth.
3He leadeth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.
4He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of Jacob that He loves. Selah.
5God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.
6Praise God — praise — give praise to our king, praise.
7For king of all the earth [is] God, Give praise, O understanding one.
8God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat on His holy throne,
9Nobles of peoples have been gathered, [With] the people of the God of Abraham, For to God [are] the shields of earth, Greatly hath He been exalted!
