PSALM 47

The Lord is King over all the earth-Sing praises to his name, for he reigneth over all.

TO THE CHIEF MUSICIAN, A PSALM FOR THE SONS OF KORAH.

  1 O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

  2 For the Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.

  3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.

  4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

  5 God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.

  6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

  7 For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.

  8 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

  9 The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.
