Psalm 47

God Our King

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

1   Clap your hands, all you peoples; j

shout to God with a jubilant cry. k

2   For the LORD, the Most High, is awe-inspiring,

a great King over the whole earth. l

3   He subdues peoples under us

and nations under our feet. m

4   He chooses for us our inheritance—

the pride of Jacob, whom he loves. n    Selah

5   God ascends among shouts of joy,

the LORD, with the sound of trumpets. o

6   Sing praise to God, sing praise;

sing praise to our King, sing praise! p

7   Sing a song of wisdom, H

for God is King of the whole earth. q

8   God reigns over the nations;

God is seated on his holy throne. r

9   The nobles of the peoples have assembled

with the people of the God of Abraham. s

For the leaders I of the earth belong to God;

he is greatly exalted. t
