Psalms 47

1To the Overseer. --By sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,

1O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

2For Jehovah Most High <FI>is<Fi> fearful, A great king over all the earth.

2For the Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.

3He leadeth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.

3He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.

4He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of Jacob that He loves. Selah.

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

5God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

5God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.

6Praise God--praise--give praise to our king, praise.

6Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

7For king of all the earth <FI>is<Fi> God, Give praise, O understanding one.

7For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.

8God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat on His holy throne,

8God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

9Nobles of peoples have been gathered, <FI>With<Fi> the people of the God of Abraham, For to God <FI>are<Fi> the shields of earth, Greatly hath He been exalted!

9The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.
