Psalm 47

All nations, clap your hands and shout!

Let joyful cries to God ring out!

2 How awesome is the LORD Most High,

Great King who rules the earth throughout!

He has subdued beneath our feet

The nations who had been our foes.

4 In blessing Jacob, whom he loved,

A heritage for us he chose.

5 God has gone up with shouts of joy,

The LORD amid the trumpets’ sound.

6 Sing praise, sing praise to God Most High;

To God our King let praise abound.

For God is King of all the earth;

Sing psalms of praise to him alone.

8 God rules the nations from on high;

He sits upon his holy throne.

9 The leaders of the nations come

To yield themselves to Abr’ham’s God.

To him belong the shields of earth;

Exalted greatly is the LORD!
