Psalms 47

Royal Kingdom

God’s Rule over the Nations
To the choirmaster.
A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.

1

Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy!

2

For the Lord, the Most High, is awesome, a great king over all the earth.

3

He subdued peoples under us, and nations under our feet.

4

He chose our heritage for us, the pride of Jacob whom he loves.Selah

5

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

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 praises with a psalm!

8

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

9

The princes of the peoples gather as the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God; he is highly exalted!
