Psalm 47
For the music leader. A psalm of the Korahites.
1Clap your hands, all you people!
Shout joyfully to God with a joyous shout!
2Because the LORD Most High is awesome,
he is the great king of the whole world.
3He subdues the nations under us,
subdues all people beneath our feet.
4He chooses our inheritance for us:
the heights of Jacob, which he loves. Selah
5God has gone up with a joyous shout—
the LORD with the blast of the ram’s horn.
6Sing praises to God! Sing praises!
Sing praises to our king! Sing praises
7because God is king of the whole world!
Sing praises with a song of instruction!#47.7 Or Sing praises with understanding or wisely (cf LXX, Vulg); Heb maskil; see the note at Ps 32.
8God is king over the nations.
God sits on his holy throne.
9The leaders of all people are gathered
with the people of Abraham’s God
because the earth’s guardians belong to God;
God is exalted beyond all.

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!
