Original text and translations

English text

Psalm 47
God’s Rule over the Nations
01  
Clap your hands, all you peoples;

    shout to God with loud songs of joy.
02  
For the Lord, the Most High, is awesome,

    a great king over all the earth.
03  
He subdued peoples under us

    and nations under our feet.
04  
He chose our heritage for us,

    the pride of Jacob whom he loves. Selah
05  
God has gone up with a shout,

    the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
06  
Sing praises to God, sing praises;

    sing praises to our King, sing praises.
07  
For God is the king of all the earth;

    sing praises with a psalm.
08  
God is king over the nations;

    God sits on his holy throne.
09  
The princes of the peoples gather

    as the people of the God of Abraham.

    For the shields of the earth belong to God;

    he is highly exalted.
