Psalms 47 The Triumph of God's Kingdom

 Psalms 47

The Triumph of God's Kingdom

1 Clap your hands, all you peoples; sing to God with a voice of triumph.

2 For the Lord Most High is awesome, a great King over all the earth.

3 He will subdue peoples under us and nations under our feet.

4 He will choose our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob, whom he loved.

5 God has gone up with shouting, the Lord has gone up with the sound of a trumpet.

6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.

7 For God is King over all the earth; sing praises with understanding.

8 God reigns over the nations; God sits enthroned in his holiness.

9 The princes of the peoples are gathered together to be the people of the God of Abraham; for the shields of the earth are God's; he is exalted above all.
