Psalms 47

  1. 1

    For the music director, by the Korahites; a psalm. All you nations, clap your hands. Shout out to God in celebration.

  2. 2

    For the Lord Most High is awe-inspiring; he is the great king who rules the whole earth!

  3. 3

    He subdued nations beneath us and countries under our feet.

  4. 4

    He picked out for us a special land to be a source of pride for Jacob, whom he loves. (Selah)

  5. 5

    God has ascended his throne amid loud shouts; the Lord has ascended amid the blaring of ram’s horns.

  6. 6

    Sing to God! Sing! Sing to our king! Sing!

  7. 7

    For God is king of the whole earth. Sing a well-written song.

  8. 8

    God reigns over the nations. God sits on his holy throne.

  9. 9

    The nobles of the nations assemble, along with the people of the God of Abraham, for God has authority over the rulers of the earth. He is highly exalted.
