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
The sons of Korah wrote this psalm for the music leader.
God rules the earth!
1People from every nation,
clap your hands together.
Shout aloud to God,
with the sound of happy songs.
2The Lord, the Most High God, is wonderful.
He is the great King
who rules over the whole earth.
3He has won the battle against our enemies,
and those nations are now under our power.
4He chose a special land to belong to us.
Jacob's descendants are proud of that land.
They are his own people that he loves.
Selah.
5God has gone up to sit on his throne,
while the people shout aloud.
The Lord has gone up there,
while the trumpets make a loud noise.
6Sing to praise God! Yes, sing!
Sing to praise our king! Sing!
7God is the King who rules over the whole earth!
So sing a special song to praise him!
8God rules over the nations.
God is sitting on his holy throne.
9The leaders of the nations have met together.
They have joined with the people who serve Abraham's God. #47:9 People from all nations, who are not descendants of Abraham, have joined with the Israelites to worship God.
God has authority over all the world's rulers
and their armies.
Everyone should praise him,
for he is great!
