Shout to God with the voice of triumph!

He is a great King over all the earth.

And the nations under our feet.
Psa 47:4He will choose our inheritance for us,
The excellence of Jacob whom He loves. Selah
Psa 47:5God has gone up with a shout,
The LORD with the sound of a trumpet.

Sing praises to our King, sing praises!

Sing praises with understanding.
Psa 47:8God reigns over the nations;
God sits on His holy throne.

The people of the God of Abraham.
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
He is greatly exalted.
