PSALM 47

¹For the lead player, for the Korahites, a psalm.

    ²All peoples, clap hands,

          shout out to God with a sound of glad song.

    ³For the LORD is most high and fearsome,

          a great king over all the earth.

    ⁴He crushes peoples beneath us

          and nations beneath our feet.

    ⁵He chooses for us our estate,

          pride of Jacob whom He loves.

    ⁶God has gone up with a trumpet blast,

          the LORD with a ram’s horn sound.

    ⁷Hymn to God, hymn,

          hymn to our king, O hymn.

    ⁸For king of all earth is God,

          hymn joyous song.

    ⁹God reigns over the nations,

          and sits on His holy throne.

    ¹⁰The princes of peoples have gathered,

          the people of Abraham’s God.

    For God’s are the land’s defenders.

          Much exalted is He.
