Tehillim (Psalms) 47
47
1Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to Elohim with a voice of singing!
2For יהוה Most High is awesome; A great Sovereign over all the earth.
3He subdues peoples under us, And nations under our feet.
4He chooses our inheritance for us, The excellence of Ya‛aqoḇ whom He loves. Selah.
5Elohim shall go up with a shout, יהוה with a voice of a shophar.
6Sing praises to Elohim, sing praises! Sing praises to our Sovereign, sing praises!
7For Elohim is Sovereign of all the earth; Sing praises with understanding.
8Elohim shall reign over the nations; Elohim shall sit on His set-apart throne.
9Nobles of peoples shall be gathered together, The people of the Elohim of Aḇraham. For the shields of the earth belong to Elohim; He shall be greatly exalted.
