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.

47
God Is the King of All the Earth
To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
1O clap your hands, all ye people;
shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
2For the Lord most high is terrible;
he is a great King over all the earth.
3He shall subdue the people under us,
and the nations under our feet.
4He shall choose our inheritance for us,
the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
5God is gone up with a shout,
the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
6Sing praises to God, sing praises:
sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
7For God is the King of all the earth:
sing ye praises with understanding.
8God reigneth over the heathen:
God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.
9The 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.
