    Psalm 47

    For the music leader. A psalm of the Korahites.

    47 Clap your hands, all you people!
        Shout joyfully to God with a joyous shout!
    Because the Lord Most High is awesome,
        he is the great king of the whole world.
    He subdues the nations under us,
        subdues all people beneath our feet.
    He chooses our inheritance for us:
        the heights of Jacob, which he loves. Selah

    God has gone up with a joyous shout—
        the Lord with the blast of the ram’s horn.
    Sing praises to God! Sing praises!
        Sing praises to our king! Sing praises
        because God is king of the whole world!
        Sing praises with a song of instruction!

    God is king over the nations.
        God sits on his holy throne.
    The leaders of all people are gathered
        with the people of Abraham’s God
        because the earth’s guardians belong to God;
            God is exalted beyond all.
