    Psalm 47

1    Clap your hands together, all you peoples;  ♦
O sing to God with shouts of joy.
2    For the Lord Most High is to be feared;  ♦
he is the great King over all the earth.
3    He subdued the peoples under us  ♦
and the nations under our feet.
4    He has chosen our heritage for us,  ♦
the pride of Jacob, whom he loves.
5    God has gone up with a merry noise,  ♦
the Lord with the sound of the trumpet.
6    O sing praises to God, sing praises;  ♦
sing praises to our King, sing praises.
7    For God is the King of all the earth;  ♦
sing praises with all your skill.
8    God reigns over the nations;  ♦
God has taken his seat upon his holy throne.
9    The nobles of the peoples are gathered together  ♦
with the people of the God of Abraham.
10  For the powers of the earth belong to God  ♦
and he is very highly exalted.
