Psalms47

God Reigns Over All Nations

^1•Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with the voice of triumph! ^2•For Yahweh Most High is awesome. He is a great King over all the earth. ^3•He subdues nations under us, and peoples under our feet. ^4•He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loved. ^5•God has gone up with a shout, Yahweh with the sound of a trumpet. ^6•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 understanding. ^8•God reigns over the nations. God sits on his holy throne. ^9•The princes of the peoples are gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God. He is greatly exalted!
