Psalm 47

God’s Rule over the Nations

To the leader. Of the Korahites. A Psalm.
¹ Clap your hands, all you 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.^*
