For the Lord Most High(A) is awesome,(B)
    the great King(C) over all the earth.
He subdued(D) nations under us,
    peoples under our feet.
He chose our inheritance(E) for us,
    the pride of Jacob,(F) whom he loved.[a]

God has ascended(G) amid shouts of joy,(H)
    the Lord amid the sounding of trumpets.(I)
Sing praises(J) to God, sing praises;
    sing praises to our King, sing praises.
For God is the King of all the earth;(K)
    sing to him a psalm(L) of praise.

  1. Psalm 47:4 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here.

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

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

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

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

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

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