Psalm 47

God Is King over All the Earth

(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 to be feared,
		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)

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

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