Psalm 47

Psalm 47

  ¹ Clap your hands, all you nations;
   shout to God with cries of joy.
² How awesome is the LORD Most High,
   the great King over all the earth!
³ He subdued nations under us,
   peoples under our feet.
⁴ He chose our inheritance for us,
   the pride of Jacob, whom he loved.
                         Selah ⁵ God has ascended amid shouts of joy,
   the LORD amid the sounding of trumpets.
⁶ Sing praises to God, sing praises;
   sing praises to our King, sing praises.
 ⁷ For God is the King of all the earth;
   sing to him a psalm^[a] of praise.
⁸ God reigns over the nations;
   God is seated on his holy throne.
⁹ The nobles of the nations assemble
   as the people of the God of Abraham,
for the kings^[b] of the earth belong to God;
   he is greatly exalted.
