PSALM 47
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician,
A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
1All people, clap your hands; to God
with voice of triumph shout:
2For dreadful is the Lord most high,
great King the earth throughout.
3The heathen people under us
he surely shall subdue;
And he shall make the nations
under our feet to bow.
4The lot of our inheritance
chuse out for us shall he,
Of Jacob, whom he loved well,
ev'n the excellency.
5God is with shouts gone up, the Lord
with trumpets sounding high.
6Sing praise to God, sing praise, sing praise,
praise to our King sing ye.
7For God is King of all the earth;
with knowledge praise express.
8God rules the nations: God sits on
his throne of holiness.
9The princes of the people are
assembled willingly;
Ev'n of the God of Abraham
they who the people be.
For why? the shields that do defend
the earth are only his:
They to the Lord belong; yea, he
exalted greatly is.

PSALM 47
God the King of the Earth.
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
1O clap your hands, all you people;
Shout to God with the voice of triumph and songs of joy.
2For the Lord Most High is to be feared [and worshiped with awe-inspired reverence and obedience];
He is a great King over all the earth.
3He subdues peoples under us
And nations under our feet.
4He chooses our inheritance for us,
The glory and excellence of Jacob whom He loves. Selah.
5God has ascended amid shouting,
The Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
6Sing praises to God, sing praises;
Sing praises to our King, sing praises.
7For God is the King of all the earth;
Sing praises in a skillful psalm and with understanding.
8God reigns over the nations;
God sits on His holy throne.
9The princes of the people have gathered together as the people of the God of Abraham,
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
He is highly exalted.
