Psalm 47 :: Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

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

Clap your hands, all you peoples;

shout to God with a jubilant cry.

For the LORD, the Most High, is awe-inspiring,

a great King over the whole earth.

He subdues peoples under us

and nations under our feet.

He chooses for us our inheritance —

the pride of Jacob, whom he loves.Selah

God ascends among shouts of joy,

the LORD, with the sound of a ram’s horn.

Sing praise to God, sing praise;

sing praise to our King, sing praise!

Sing a song of wisdom,[fn]

for God is King of the whole earth.

God reigns over the nations;

God is seated on his holy throne.

The nobles of the peoples have assembled

with the people of the God of Abraham.

For the leaders[fn] of the earth belong to God;

he is greatly exalted.

Or Sing a maskil

Lit shields
