47 (B)Clap your hands, all peoples!
(C)Shout to God with loud songs of joy!
2 For the Lord, the Most High, (D)is to be feared,
(E)a great king over all the earth.

and nations under our feet.

Sing praises to our King, sing praises!

sing praises (K)with a psalm![a]

as the people of the God of Abraham.
For (N)the shields of the earth belong to God;
he is highly exalted!
