Psalm 47

O clap your hands together, all you peoples; * O cry aloud unto God with shouts of joy.

For the Lord Most High is to be feared; * he is the great King over all the earth.

He shall subdue the peoples under us, * and the nations under our feet.

He shall choose our inheritance for us, * the pride of Jacob whom he loved.

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

O sing praises, sing praises unto our God; * O sing praises, sing praises unto our King.

For God is the King of all the earth; * think upon his mighty acts and praise him with a song.

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

The princes of the peoples are gathered with the people of the God of Abraham; * for the mighty upon earth have become the servants of the Lord, and he is very highly exalted.
