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.^*

⁸ God is king 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.

Psalm 93

The Majesty of God’s Rule

¹ The Lord is king, he is robed in majesty;
   the Lord is robed, he is girded with strength.
He has established the world; it shall never be moved;
²   your throne is established from of old;
   you are from everlasting.

³ The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
   the floods have lifted up their voice;
   the floods lift up their roaring.
⁴ More majestic than the thunders of mighty waters,
   more majestic than the waves^* of the sea,
   majestic on high is the Lord!

⁵ Your decrees are very sure;
   holiness befits your house,
   O Lord, for evermore.
