Chapter 47

To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. A Psalm.

1

All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,

2

For Jehovah Most High is fearful, A great king over all the earth.

3

He leadeth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.

4

He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of Jacob that He loves. Selah.

5

God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

6

Praise God -- praise -- give praise to our king, praise.

7

For king of all the earth is God, Give praise, O understanding one.

8

God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat on His holy throne,

9

Nobles of peoples have been gathered, With the people of the God of Abraham, For to God are the shields of earth, Greatly hath He been exalted!
