Psalms 47

Psalm 47

God Our King

For the choir director. A psalm of the sons of Korah.

¹Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with a jubilant cry.²

³For the Lord, the Most High, is awe-inspiring, a great King over the whole earth.⁴

⁵He subdues peoples under us and nations under our feet.⁶

⁷He chooses for us our inheritance — the pride of Jacob, whom he loves.Selah⁸

⁹God ascends among shouts of joy, the Lord, with the sound of a ram’s horn.¹⁰

¹¹Sing praise to God, sing praise; sing praise to our King, sing praise!¹²

¹³Sing a song of wisdom, for God is King of the whole earth.¹⁴

¹⁵God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.¹⁶

¹⁷The nobles of the peoples have assembled with the people of the God of Abraham. For the leaders of the earth belong to God; he is greatly exalted.¹⁸
