Psalms 47CJB

1For the leader. A psalm of the descendants of Korach: Clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with cries of joy!

2For ADONAI 'Elyon is awesome, a great king over all the earth.

3He makes peoples subject to us, puts nations under our feet.

4He chooses our heritage for us, the pride of Ya'akov, whom he loves. (Selah)

5God goes up to shouts of acclaim, ADONAI to a blast on the shofar.

6Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our king, sing praises!

7For God is king of all the earth; sing praises in a maskil.

8God rules the nations; God sits on his holy throne.

9The leaders of the people gather together, the people of the God of Avraham; for the rulers of the earth belong to God, who is exalted on high.
