Psalms 47— HCSB

1[ For the choir director. A psalm of the sons of Korah.] Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with a jubilant cry.

2For the LORD Most High is awe-inspiring, a great King over all the 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 amid shouts of joy, the LORD, amid the sound of trumpets.

6Sing praise to God, sing praise; sing praise to our King, sing praise!

7Sing a song of instruction, for God is King of all the 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 of the earth belong to God; He is greatly exalted.
