Psalms 47
Psalm
1 Clap your hands, all you peoples, acclaim God with shouts of joy;
2 for Yahweh, the Most High, is to be dreaded, the Great King of the whole world.
3 He brings the peoples under our dominion, he puts the nations under our feet;
4 for us he chooses our heritage – the pride of Jacob, whom he loved.
5 God rises to shouts of acclamation, Yahweh rises to a blast of trumpets,
6 let the music sound for our God, let it sound, let the music sound for our King, let it sound!
7 God is king of the whole world: play your best in his honour!
8 God is king of the nations, he reigns on his holy throne.
9 The leaders of the nations rally to the people of the God of Abraham. Every shield in the world belongs to God. He reigns supreme.
