Psalm 47

God, the King of the World

For the director of music. A song of the sons of Korah.

47 Clap your hands, all you people.
    Shout to God with joy.
²The Lord Most High is wonderful.
    He is the great King over all the earth!
³He defeated nations for us
    and put them under our control.
⁴He chose the land we would inherit.
    We are the children of Jacob, whom he loved. Selah

⁵God has risen with a shout of joy.
    The Lord has risen as the trumpets sounded.
⁶Sing praises to God. Sing praises.
    Sing praises to our King. Sing praises.
⁷God is King of all the earth.
    So sing a song of praise to him.
⁸God is King over the nations.
    God sits on his holy throne.
⁹The leaders of the nations meet
    with the people of the God of Abraham.
Even the leaders of the earth belong to God.
    He is supreme.
