Psalm 47  Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

God Our King

For the choir director. A psalm of the sons of Korah.

47 Clap your hands, all you peoples;(A)
shout to God with a jubilant cry.(B)
2 For the Lord, the Most High, is awe-inspiring,
a great King over the whole earth.(C)
3 He subdues peoples under us
and nations under our feet.(D)
4 He chooses for us our inheritance –
the pride of Jacob, whom he loves.(E) Selah

5 God ascends among shouts of joy,
the Lord, with the sound of a ram’s horn.(F)
6 Sing praise to God, sing praise;
sing praise to our King, sing praise!(G)
7 Sing a song of wisdom,[a]
for God is King of the whole earth.(H)

8 God reigns over the nations;
God is seated on his holy throne.(I)
9 The nobles of the peoples have assembled
with the people of the God of Abraham.(J)
For the leaders[b] of the earth belong to God;
he is greatly exalted.(K)
