Psalms 47
47
PSALM 47.
1A psalm of a canticle, for the sons of Core, on the second day of the week.
2Great is the Lord, and exceedingly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
3With the joy of the whole earth is mount Sion founded, on the sides of the north, the city of the great king.
4In her houses shall God be known, when he shall protect her.
5For behold the kings of the earth assembled themselves: they gathered together.
6So they saw, and they wondered, they were troubled, they were moved:
7trembling took hold of them. There were pains as of a woman in labour.
8With a vehement wind thou shalt break in pieces the ships of Tharsis.
9As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God hath founded it for ever.
10We have received thy mercy, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
11According to thy name, O God, so also is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of justice.
12Let mount Sion rejoice, and the daughters of Juda be glad; because of thy judgments, O Lord.
13Surround Sion, and encompass her: tell ye in her towers.
14Set your hearts on her strength; and distribute her houses, that ye may relate it in another generation.
15For this is God, our God unto eternity, and for ever and ever: he shall rule us for evermore.

Psalm 47
For the choir director; a psalm by Korah’s descendants.
1Clap your hands, all you people.
Shout to God with a loud, joyful song.
2We must fear the Lord, the Most High.
He is the great king of the whole earth.
3He brings people under our authority
and ⌞puts⌟ nations under our feet.
4He chooses our inheritance for us,
the pride of Jacob, whom he loved. Selah
5God has gone up with a joyful shout.
The Lord has gone up with the sound of a ram’s horn.
6Make music to praise God.
Play music for him!
Make music to praise our king.
Play music for him!
7God is the king of the whole earth.
Make your best music for him!
8God rules the nations.
He sits upon his holy throne.
9The influential people from the nations gather together
as the people of the God of Abraham.
The rulers of the earth belong to God.
He rules everything.
