Psalm 47

God Our King

For the choir director. A psalm of the sons of Korah.

¹Clap your hands, all you peoples;
shout to God with a jubilant cry.
²For the Lord, the Most High, is awe-inspiring,
a great King over the whole earth.
³He subdues peoples under us
and nations under our feet.
⁴He chooses for us our inheritance—
the pride of Jacob, whom he loves.Selah

⁵God ascends among shouts of joy,
the Lord, with the sound of trumpets.
⁶Sing praise to God, sing praise;
sing praise to our King, sing praise!
⁷Sing a song of wisdom,^[a]
for God is King of the whole earth.

⁸God reigns over the nations;
God is seated on his holy throne.
⁹The nobles of the peoples have assembled
with the people of the God of Abraham.
For the leaders^[b] of the earth belong to God;
he is greatly exalted.
