Psalms

47 All peoples, clap your hands!

shout for God with voice of cheer,

2 Because Jehovah is a terrible one on high,

a great king over all the earth!

3 He brings peoples down under us,

many a folk under our feet;

4 He chooses our estate for us,

the pride of Jacob whom he loves. (Selah)

5 God has come up with cheering,

Jehovah with sound of ram-horn.

6 Make music to God, make music!

make music for our King, make music!

7 For king of all the earth is God;

make well-considered music!

8 God reigns over nations,

God is seated on his hallowed throne.

9 Nobles of peoples have come together,

the people of the God of Abraham,

Because the shields of earth belong to God;

high indeed is he.
