Psalms 47

1 All ye peoples, clap your hands; shout untoGod with the voice of triumph!

1 O make a glad noise with your hands, all you peoples; letting your voices go up to God with joy.

2 For Jehovah, the Most High, is terrible, a great king over all the earth.

2For the Lord Most High is to be feared; he is a great King over all the earth.

3 He subdueth the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.

3He will put down the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.

4 He hath chosen our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

4He will give us our heritage, the glory of Jacob who is dear to him. (Selah.)

5 God is gone up amid shouting, Jehovah amid the sound of the trumpet.

5God has gone up with a glad cry, the Lord with the sound of the horn.

6 Sing psalms ofGod, sing psalms; sing psalms unto our King, sing psalms!

6Give praises to God, make songs of praise; give praises to our King, make songs of praise.

7 ForGod is the King of all the earth; sing psalms with understanding.

7For God is the King of all the earth; make songs of praise with knowledge.

8 God reigneth over the nations;God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

8God is the ruler over the nations; God is on the high seat of his holy rule.

9 The willing-hearted of the peoples have gathered together, [with] the people of theGod of Abraham. For untoGod [belong] the shields of the earth: he is greatly exalted.

9The rulers of the peoples have come together, with the people of the God of Abraham; because the powers of the earth are God's: he is lifted up on high.
