Psalm 47

For the choir director: A psalm of the descendants of Korah. 1Come, everyone! Clap your hands!Shout to God with joyful praise! 2 For the LORD Most High is awesome.He is the great King of all the earth. 3 He subdues the nations before us,putting our enemies beneath our feet. 4 He chose the Promised Land as our inheritance,the proud possession of Jacob’s descendants, whom he loves.Interlude

5God has ascended with a mighty shout.The LORD has ascended with trumpets blaring. 6 Sing praises to God, sing praises;sing praises to our King, sing praises! 7 For God is the King over all the earth.Praise him with a psalm! 8 God reigns above the nations,sitting on his holy throne. 9 The rulers of the world have gathered togetherwith the people of the God of Abraham.For all the kings of the earth belong to God.He is highly honored everywhere.
