PSALM 47 [†]  x Clap your hands, all peoples!

 y Shout to God with loud songs of joy!

2 For the LORD, the Most High,  z is to be feared,

 a a great king over all the earth.

3 He  b subdued peoples under us,

and nations under our feet.

4 He chose our  c heritage for us,

 d the pride of Jacob whom he loves. Selah

5[†] God  e 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  f the King of all the earth;

sing praises  g with a psalm! [1]

8[†] God  h reigns over the nations;

God sits on his holy throne.

9[^]  i The princes of the peoples gather

as the people of the God of Abraham.

For  j the shields of the earth belong to God;

he is highly exalted!

A Song. A Psalm of  k the Sons of Korah.
